Currahee!

If you've not watched the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers then you ought to. It is based off of the book of the same title by Stephen Ambrose. This is a great series detailing the experience of Easy Company in the 101st airborne during World War II. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg do an amazing job of capturing the realities of the War. Each time I watch the series (3 times now...maybe a little obsessive) I come away with a much deeper appreciation of what the Greatest Generation did for the world. The series never loses its punch. So if you've not watched this series, go rent it today...better yet, go buy it! It's amazing!

BTW: Currahee is Cherokee for "stands alone" and was the airborne's battle cry.
