Joe Toye would try to lighten things up at night by singing ‘I’ll Be Seeing You’. Or he’d be humming it wherever he was…he’d sing a line of that song and before you know it, the guy next to him starts singing, and the guy next to him, and soon everybody’s singing. Even I’m singing…Every time I hear that song, I think of old Joe Toye. Yeah, there were some good times. Little things like that never leave your mind.

I wanted to make a little happy video about the guys so I made this. It’s not my greatest work and it doesn’t contain all the smiles but I tried to include everyone. Hope you like it :) My next video will be about Winters, Nix, Harry, Lip and Speirs... if I find the right music for it.

To escape the boredom, I took a week’s leave and visited England. Captain Nixon accompanied me and through a little creative collaboration, we stretched a seven-day leave into fourteen days. I had a wonderful time

“Nixon departed Joigny the next week, making me about as lonesome as a lovesick sailor who married a Wave on an eight-hour pass.”

“On reflection, Nixon alway seemed to be around.”

“His contribution cannot truly be measured. There is no question in my mind that Nixon was the best combat soldier in 2nd Battalion.”

“I was so lonely that I needed someone in whom I could confide my inner thoughts. That someone was Nix. Whenever the bullets began to fly, I could turn and there stood Nix. He always walked on my left side.”

“Nix probably needed me as much as I needed him. He was undoubtedly the coolest man under fire whom I ever encountered in combat.”

“I sensed we shared mutual feelings and ways of looking at life. I could understand him and help him understand me, as well as understand myself. Our friendship evolved naturally, and soon he became my closest friend. Lewis Nixon was the finest combat officer with whom I served under fire. He was utterly dependable and totally fearless.“

“To give you an idea how dedicated Nixon was to 506th PIR, at Bastogne he had his name drawn from a hat in a lottery that would given him a thirty-day leave to United States. Nix refused the offer, saying he wanted to stay with the outfit on the line. How do you explain that kind of dedication?”
