I have been enthralled with the HBO series Band of Brothers since I first watched the series in 2004. The series is based on a book by Stephen Ambrose of the same name. It follows a group of men as they fought their way across Europe (starting on D-Day) and eventually took Hitler's nest.
This book is by one of the key characters in that series, Buck Compton. Mr. Compton has lived a full and heroic life. After serving in WWII, he became a distinguished public servant. This is a great book and offers further insight into the previous books on the subject.
His "call of duty" to serve a country that he loves is something that is definitely missing in America these days. We are losing many WWII vets every single day. If you know of anyone who has served their country, please thank them. Its because of their service that we are free.
