One of these days I am going to read Stephen Ambrose's "Band of Brothers." In the meantime, we rewatch the DVD version of "Band of Brothers" starting every D-Day anniversary.I have been a WW2 history enthusiast since the mid 1950’s.
I love to read military history books, and of the over 200 in my library, easily 3/4 of them are about WW2.
In honor of D-Day, I am re-reading Stephen Ambrose’s D Day, Eisenhower’s Crusade in Europe, and David Eisenhower’s biography of his famous grandfather.
Because I love to study WW2, I have many like minded Facebook friends in France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
The annual commemoration of D-Day is a huge deal over there, where they honor those they call “our liberators “.
I have most of his works, he was an excellent writer.One of these days I am going to read Stephen Ambrose's "Band of Brothers." In the meantime, we rewatch the DVD version of "Band of Brothers" starting every D-Day anniversary.
Today, I order a used copy of "Band of Brothers" from Thriftbooks.com I saw that there are audio versions of the book. Now I am thinking, if Stephen Ambrose narrated the book reading, I should go back and buy the audio version, too. He is such a good speaker! I have heard him speak (online or radio) many times. My wife is learning to sing "Requiem for a Soldier" (see below) for next years Memorial Day service. She is an excellent singer. Has sung at church, funerals, weddings, and football games. When in high school, she won many Texas State competition singing awards. Back then, she was offered a full scholarship to study voice in Europe. She never took them up on the offer.I have most of his works, he was an excellent writer.
I have Band of Brothers, have not read it yet.
