Keep’em In Your Thoughts

Sincerest condolences go out to the Agnew family on the passing of Demolition Platoon/RHQ/506th PIR man John “Jack” Agnew. Jack was very special to the men of this unit and we mourn his loss. Please see our tribute to Jack.

Please keep E Company men Joe Lesniewski and Ed “Rusty” Bernat in your prayers as they continue to battle through illness.

Congrats!

Congrats go out to Marcus Brotherton, co-author of Buck Compton’s recent book, regarding his latest book on E Company, A Company of Heroes. You can go to this link to read more about it at this LINK.

Rumor has it that Chris Anderson, the former editor of WWII Magazine, is working on a book about 3rd Platoon E Co, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for that.
