ambrose: so winters and welsh were best friends in the war and they hung out in the same bunks and lead first platoon together and welsh was winters' xo once winters was captain oh and i guess this guy nixon was involved
major richard winters looking tom hanks in the eye: nixon was next to me every single waking moment of the war if he wasnt there i felt so lost and lovesick i became feral and i followed him home after the war. you know, like men, like normal ordinary men do with their sort of friend who i didnt bother talking much about the first time and i begrudging wrote his eulogy ugh what a pain. if you dont put me looking like im in love with nixon in the show im never talking to you again.
There's a company in Nixon, New Jersey. It's called Nixon Nitration Works.
Sounds picturesque.
Yeah, well, oddly enough, I know the owners. Probably gonna expect me to make something of myself. I thought maybe I'd drag you with me.
