Every person has their limit. While many people know about the 82nd Airborne in regards to their jump into Normandy on D-Day and their heroic defense of La Fiere Bridge, many may not know what happened after that and how 3 weeks of fighting after D-Day ground this elite paratrooper unit down. We're going to a place where few people visit to see the high water mark of the 82nd Airborne at Hill 95.
