Sgt. Don Malarkey of the 506th P.I.R 101st Airborne div. during WW11 died Saturday at the age of 96.
Anyone familiar with the Band of Brothers story will know who he is,
For those unfamiliar Sgt. Malarkey as a member of easy co. jumped into france on D-day where he earned a bronze star for his part in destroying a 4 gun battery firing shells onto Utah beach.
He fought through france, jumped in and helped liberate Holland in operation Market Garden, Fought completely surrounded in Belgium in the battle of the bulge, and eventually took Hitlers Eagles nest in Berchtesgaden.
If you want to know the definition of a hero, These men were it!
Rest in peace Sgt.Malarkey, your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
