Wearing Army uniforms, they’re barely out of their teens, full-faced and confident, unaware that their future acts of bravery — dramatized in HBO’s 2001 miniseries “Band of Brothers” — would shape the world for decades to come.

DocWard Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I met them both, along with several others from the unit, in Kuwait in 2008. Great guys, and well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
