Hey Leo, Long time watcher first time commenter. When I saw you were doing band of brothers I felt it was a good time to contribute to your patreon, My grandfather actually fought with these men. He was 101st AB, 506 REG, 2nd Btn, I Company. He actually was a good friend of Buck Compton, Infract my father is named after Buck.
This show is very important to me because sometimes I can picture my grand father just off screen fighting with Easy. My grandfather was gravely wounded in the attack on Foy by a Mortar round. This means a lot to me that you are covering this show. I wanted to show my appreciation. If you have any questions about the war I would be happy to answer them for you my guy.
All Love, JG
PS When someone says "Zeroed" it means the area they are in is ranged in by the artillery and many shells will fall onto the position causing great harm to those who are in it. It was and still is a common tactic in war to pre-sight Your defensive location if you the know the enemy is going to attack it. That way if it gets over ran you can drop artillery down onto pre recorded numbers effectively injuring the enemy combatants.
