BONUS+++

Okay so this is a recent thing I've found while making this and it turns out doc roes grandson Chris Langlois makes children's books about the 101st airborne ! While they're not exactly the demographic of people on here and not the same reading level as these huge chapter books listed above BUT I'm recommending I thought it'd be neat to share them :3

There are plenty of other books out there that talks about the 101st but these are the main ones I've found that centers around the veterans portrayed in the series ! Steven ambrose also has a trillion other war books out there that includes battles fought by the 101st but these are the ones centered on our Easy Company men ! let me know if I missed any I would be happy to add them : ))

Reading that book about Shames and in all honesty, personality wise I can relate quite a lot. Oopsie Daisy!

Oh, and the drama with Nix being Nix...Shames you just weren't Dick, mate. And anyone who wasn't Dick, Nix had no time for them. Just shut up and run the household, and do all the work! Nix has places to go to and things to do (read: be with Dick and help Dick!)

Happy birthday to Edward Shames. He was the last surviving officer of Easy when he died at the age of 99 in 2021. He brought home a bottle of cognac from the Eagles Nest that had been labeled as personal property of the Fuhrer. He used it to toast his son at the boys bar mitzvah when he turned 13
