Reading Band of Brothers on D-Day

D-Day and Band of Brothers) on D-Day; 70^th anniversary today.

It is fitting to read two of Stephen Ambrose’s books (

Band of Brothers is the story of the Easy Company, 506^th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101^st Airborne Division, U.S. Army.  I wrote about the 101^st Airborne Division on D-Day of 2010.

The title of Band of Brothers comes from Shakespeare’s Henry V,

From this day to the ending of the World,

. . . we in it shall be remembered

. . . we band of brothers.”

Like the soldiers of Henry V in the Battle of Agincourt, the men in the Easy Company of 506^th Parachute Infantry Regiment made their name on D-Day and beyond; they are truly band of brothers!
