RIP Donald Malarkey.
Band of Brothers is one of my favorite shows ever. After I watched it, it made me realize how dumb kids can be sometimes (especially me). I just got out of airborne school and went to my first unit who were hosting some WWII paratroopers.
Looking at the old men I didn't realize what an honor it was to be able to talk to them and listen to their stories. I took a lot of what they said with a grain of salt because I thought the weaponry they faced wasn't as advanced etc etc.
Thats one day of my life I wish I could relive.F#*K OHIO!!!
