In a small way, there were similarities to Easy Company in Band of Brothers. Our CO couldn't read a map to save his life, and my friend was excellent as XO, he always knew the right thing to do. He bore similarities reminiscent of Dick Winters. I was basically a good platoon leader who knew what to do during evaluations.
The CO would have had a successful command had he just stayed out of our way.
Active duty 63-70 and reserve 70 until New Years Day 1984.
All of us vets who served honorably are a “band of brothers”.
