I don't have the link either, but in Webster's autobiography, his return to the unit was clearly welcomed. Most of the ribbing he reports was of the "Hey, Webster, where the hell have you been?" variety.

Parachute Infantry

I've already read it but any fan of Band of Brothers should get this one. It is written by one of them, PFC David Webster, and gives an excellent perception from a guy who wanted to fight but not achieve military success/career. His writing is extremely insightful and humorous at times. Great writer in which I actually have a tattoo of one of his letters from Band of Brothers in which he was writing his mother and showing his dissatisfaction of her opinion concerning her son being infantry and airborne.

Fantastic portion of it shows that the airborne units' hatred of fucking beanies or skull caps is well vetted even in WW2.
