Thank you for sharing that! I agree! Once I had the chance to chat with the late Donald Malarkey, one of the "Band of Brothers," and he said to me: "I volunteered to serve my country, I was a paratrooper, I'm proud of what I did, but I am NOT a hero!" His book Easy Company Soldier: The Legendary Battles of a Sergeant from World War II's "Band of Brothers" is a powerful read. He grew up in Astoria and attended the University of Oregon after the war.

My favorites:

Check out this book by Malarkey for another point of view

Seven Roads to Hell: A Screaming Eagle at Bastogne, Donald R. Burgett

A guy who was in another company from the Band of Brothers guys wrote his memoirs shortly after the war. Has a bunch of volumes, from training and D-Day to the Eagles Nest.

To be honest, I preferred it to Band of Brothers, because it was first-person and was less about how awesome the war and the US Army were.

Don Malarkey who was one of the guys in Band of Brothers had an interesting memoir... also talked about the post-war and how the guys who came back had a lot of the same difficulties as Vietnam and Iraq vets, which people didn't really want to think about in those days.

I went through a Band of Brothers phase.

Yeah, I read the one by Richard D. Winters, Donald Malarkey and Lynn 'Buck' Compton. I really liked the one by Malarkey and Winters. Defiantly worth reading.
