Reposted from @usarmy Rest in Peace, Soldier. Bradford Freeman, a World War II Veteran and the last living member of the famed "Band of Brothers" company, has died. He was 97. Pfc. Bradford Freeman of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, @101stabndivaa jumped into Normandy, #France on #DDay, June 6, 1944 with his fellow paratroopers and an 18-pound mortar baseplate strapped to his chest. Freeman was in every major engagement in Europe during World War II, and helped guide the realism of the HBO television series “Band of Brothers.” His experience helped the series emulate the reality of what Easy Company went through. His was part of the team that started with a “rendezvous with destiny” and helped build a legacy for all the past, present, and future Soldiers to have the honor to call themselves #ScreamingEagles. #ArmyLegacy #ArmyHeritage #NeverForget #hero #HonorThem (at United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfr2UPkO9tT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
