Flash - Wild Bill, Babe, And Other Band Of Brothers Are Going To Iraq To See The Troops!

September 7th, 2008 Posted By drillanwr.

I just love these two Philly guys. I’m sure our friend John Cunningham was proud to live in the same city as these two heroes too. I am fascinated by the friendship they forged and maintained from a chance meeting in WWII’s ETO.

Their story is a great one, and if you haven’t seen the HBO mini series Band Of Brothers or read Stephen Ambrose’s book it was based on should find a copy and watch it. They recently, about a year ago, penned a book together titled “Brothers In Battle, Best Of Friends”.

I am thrilled to hear Bill and Babe and a few of the other Brothers will be traveling to Iraq to meet and greet with our brave troops serving over there. And I am CERTAIN our troops will be breathless at the opportunity to meet these grand men.

    Sadly, “Generation Kill” didn’t honor our troops like “Band of Brothers” did for WW2 vets. They both deserve great praise.

    Good for them, I remember “Buck” Compton also toured some overseas bases recently, to show his support for the troops. :beer:

    God I love those guys.
    Each time I watch the series, esp. Episode 10, I get quite emotional.

    God bless them all. These guys know what it is all about. True patriots visiting true patriots. I am sure it will be a great boost to everyone involved. Wish I could be there to witness it.
