 June 6, 1944, Normandy, France…
Amidst the roar of D-Day, the “Band of Brothers” paratroopers of Easy Company, 506th P.I.R., 101st Airborne Division, capture the first of four German cannons within the hedgerows of Brécourt Manor. Led by Lt. Dick Winters, the 12 men of Easy Company, with a handful of reinforcements, would rout the German gun crews and 50 enemy paratroopers. For his actions, Lt. Winters would be recommended for the Medal of Honor.
