sorry - I posted this on another forum that doesn't allow the word Dick - ty for catching it!  :salute


I was looking at a photo I was given last year of Easy Co. before they deployed. It was signed, but I didn't really look by who. I found out yesterday that this man is the one who signed it.....

On a seperate note, the only beef many of the 101st vets have had with Band of Brothers, is it has made the public think that E/506th were the 101st Airborne in WW2, and this concern was shared by the guys of E/506th.  It was one Company in one Regiment of the 101st.  They didn't want the spotlight and its a shame that the same kind of coverage isn't given to all those guys along with all the WW2 vets we're losing these days.

Sad to think in about 10-15 years, most, if not completely all, of the veterans of that war will be gone...
