Garand Picture of the day - Albert Blithe 101st 82nd

[Mark in Rochester]

He was featured in the Stephen Ambrose book and subsequent HBO mini-series Band of Brothers as one of the Easy Company paratroopers featured in the third episode "Carentan".Both the book and the mini-series indicate, in error, that he did not survive his war wounds, and overlook his many years of further military service with paratrooper regiments.
