"Band of Brothers"

'Easy Company,' 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, at Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, Normandy. #EasyCompany

Easy Company paratrooper Forrest Guth knew he would witness history when he jumped into France on D-Day, so he carried a camera borrowed from his boyhood friend and fellow paratrooper, Roderick Strohl.
On June 7, 1944, D+1, Forrest and his comrades entered Sainte-Marie-du-Mont while searching for Easy Company. Forrest thought the town’s WWI memorial would make a good backdrop. His comrade, Walter Gordon, agreed to snap a photo and Forrest let several 4th ID soldiers, fresh from Utah Beach, join them for a picture the world would one day treasure.

(Photograph by 'Easy Co', Corporal Walter Scott "Monkey" Gordon, Jr.)
