Sox pitcher Curt Schilling is hosting four of the original “Band of Brothers,’’ the World War II veterans made famous in the Stephen Ambrose book and HBO series.

Saturday’s gathering at Schill’s Medfield home is a benefit for a new documentary by Tim Gray Media, a Rhode Island-based film company that makes movies about WWII vets. The latest film is based on Marcus Brotherton’s book, “We Who Are Alive and Remain.’’

The four who’ll be attending Curt and wife Shonda’s fund-raiser include Buck Compton, Don Malarkey, “Wild Bill’’ Guarnere, and Edward “Babe’’ Heffron. (Guarnere and Heffron are traveling here on a jet donated by Honor Flight New England.)

Said Schill: “With 1,000 World War II veterans passing on each day - 30,000 a month - we’re running out of time to document all the stories of these great men and women who fought for our freedom.’’

Marcus is involved with this. It should be first rate. One hitch though, Don is not feeling well so Brad Freeman will be in attendence instead, along with Buck, Bill and Babe. If you can find a way to get to this, I highly recommend it.

Sounds like it could be a good night! I wish them the very best.

And I'm sorry to hear that Don is not doing well.

Is everyone from here going?

I'd love to, but how, though? I didn't see anything with regards to place, time, cost, etc....

Currahee!!

As luck would have it, I was able to attend this. I want to congratulate Marcus and Tim for an excellent effort. It was wonderfully done and the fellas were taken care of extremely well. Bill and Babe couldn't stop raving about the event and the Schilling's in particular. There were several other veterans in attendence besides the E Co fellas, including to veterans of the D-Day landings at Bloody Omaha (one veteran of the 29th Division and the other, a USN veteran) and an Okinawa veteran. Michael "Bull Randleman" Cudlitz attended and the Governor of Rhode Island came as well. All in all it was a very well run event and the Schilling's were amazing hosts.
