Remembrance of Sgt Donald Malarkey
 

Sgt Donald Malarkey of E Co, 101st Airborne Div, Band of Brothers, a unit that shared a Model A Ford while at Camp Toccoa, GA, passed away yesterday in Oregon.
I was pleased to see his Obit received a 1/4 page in Long Island's Newsday.
Sgt Malarkey received the Bronze Star for Valor for his work on D Day, assisting in the destruction of the 105 MM howitzers blocking Utah Beach breakout on June 6, 1944.

Thanks for sharing. So many of our great Generation heroes are passing. I hope the new generation studies history and understands the contribution these great heroes made. May we never forget them.

You got that right! I work with many people age 40 and under and most of them don't care about the greatest generation and don't even understand why they are called that.

RIP Don Malarkey!

So very sad to hear about the passing of a real hero. May God bless all those who are in mourning.

Right near HERSHEY i came upon a BRIDGE dedicated to Major Dick Winters, CO of B Co, through XO of 1 st Bn, 101st Airborne from Normandy through Bastogne and beyond.

The original group of Toccoa men in the mini series Band of Brothers are there any left still living? Just wondering. If you ever have the chance and time while traveling in the northeast part of Georgia, stop in at Toccoa, Ga and visit the Band of Brothers museum. Located in the old train depot. Well worth the visit.

If I remember correctly, I believe that Dick Winters died about a year ago. My timing may be wrong though.
