He was truly the meaning of a hero. Everyone in the war was and especially the men in Easy Company. I bought the complete series when it first came out. $95 in a tin box. Worth every penny, I have watched the whole thing about 6 times. I just might have to do it again. One of my all time movies. Better than Saving Private Ryan, it took me awhile to understand the ending in that one. Any of you that haven't seen Band of Brothers (if there is anybody that hasn't seen it) I would highly recommend watching it. You won't be dissappointed. My Dad missed WWII he hit Tokyo in the first part of Sept. 1945. He said as soon as you came into the bay the stench was unbearable and a lot of GI's were sick. People were stacked up along side the road and the juices were flowing down the streets. That is just fucked up. I wouldn't want to be in a war. But you do what you have to do. That was a great movie. I guess everybody has to go someday, I am glad he made it into his 90's. A hero deserves a long life. Awards

He was in Africa during WWII. He is just now starting to speak about what he did fighting Romel. My Dad hasn't even hears some of the things his Dad is telling me. It is important to listen and take note of where we came from. We are bound to repeat history, there is nothing anyone can do about it but appreciate what out parents and their parents did.
