    Thanks Charles,

    Its good to see that the passing of these veterans is still marked in the local press.

    Its been a while since I watched 'Band of Brothers', but I cannot recall Sgt. Combs being mentioned in the series. I wonder was he related to Lt. Homer J. Combs of Company B, 502nd PIR, killed at Carentan on the 11th June?

    Regards,

    Pat
