US Airborne Technician Fourth Grade Eugene Gilbert Roe, Sr.
Roe was one of Easy Company’s medics and by the time they went into Carentan, Roe was already a seasoned veteran, able to patch and diagnose wounds in a methodical way.
Roe participated in Operation Market Garden and jumped into the Netherlands.
He also took part in the Battle of the Bulge at Bastogne. Allied supplies were low and Roe had to go from man to man to get more supplies. In the extreme cold weather, he had to tuck plasma bottles into his armpits to keep them from freezing.

US Airborne Staff Sergeant “Wild Bill” Guarnere
William J. Guarnere was a US Army soldier who fought in WWII as a non-commissioned officer with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, in the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.
The night before the invasion of Normandy, Guarnere found out his brother was killed at Monte Cassino, Italy. He made the parachute drop on D-day. After regrouping with his company, the unit encountered a German patrol and ambushed it, affording Guarnere his revenge for the loss of his brother at Monte Cassino.

US Airborne Lieutenant Ronald C. Speirs
Lt. Speirs served in the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne. During the battle for Foy in Bastogne, a platoon had been ordered to go on a flanking mission. To countermand this order, Speirs ran through the town and German lines, linked up with the platoon and relayed the order. Having completed this, he then ran back through the German-occupied town.
“At first the Germans didn’t shoot at him. I think they couldn’t quite believe what they were seeing. But that wasn’t the really astounding thing. The astounding thing was that, after he hooked up with I Company, he came back.” – Carwood Lipton

US War Reporter – Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway was in Europe from May 1944 to March 1945. He had come to the front to show the “Great American Public” how the war should really be reported. He would show them what war was really like—brutal, unsentimental, red-blooded macho. And his chosen vehicle for this reporting was the unsuspecting 22nd Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division, nicknamed the Ivy Leaguers. He would have plenty of material with which to work. Before the war was over, the Ivy League division would be decimated almost three times, suffering approximately 30,000 casualties.
