This morning on 6/14/2020, my grandfather Joesph S. Hennessey passed away. He was a paratrooper in the 101st Airborn, recipient of a Purple Heart, along with other medals, and I’m proud to say my grandfather was a war hero. He and my grandmother were married for 72 years, and ironically it is her birthday today. She refused to put him in a nursing home, and took care of him until the day he died. Rest In Peace Poppy.

My grandpa was a screaming Eagle!! Those men till their dying day stayed in contact. They had a bond not you or bond I’ve never had. Proud group of men! Thank you for posting this!

Great footage and matched perfectly with the theme of Medal of Honor European Assault. Well done!

The song alone brings tears to my eyes the people of the 101st just make them flow more salute
And its been so long since I played European assault

Sadly there is only one left from the original E Company- that person is Marlarky. RIP Easy company.

I was lucky enough to meet (through WWII 101st Airborne historian and author Mark Bando) and speak with Don Burgett, A/506th P.I.R. Germany veteran and author of four books on his WWII experiences. Unforgettable. R.I.P. Don Burgett.
