Band Of Brothers
Something a little different this week. Instead of profiling a service member, Wednesday Hero will be profiling a movie. Band Of Brothers.
It was a miniseries tha aired on HBO in 2001. It follows Maj. Richard
Winters, Cpt. Lewis Nixon and the men of the 2nd Battalion, 506th
Parachute Infantry Regiment assigned to the 101st Airborne Division,
aka E-Company or Easy Company
on their march to Germany. From their training to their battles at
Normandy and Bastogne, their liberation of the Kaufering IV
concentration camp to their taking of Hitler’s Eagle Nest. A great cast
and great writing make this one of the best war movies ever made. But
it is graphic in visuals and language. And parts of it may be hard to
watch, but it is worth it.
What the men of E-Company did will never be forgotten. They are the heroes that helped the cause of freedom.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that
others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am
proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
