Taking Charge (The Tide Has Turned)

(Painting by: K. Sean Sullivan)

On January 13, 1945… Nearly a month after the Battle of the Bulge began, American forces are back on the offensive. At the small Belgian village of Foy, Lt. Ron Speirs leads Easy Company, 506th P.I.R., 101st Airborne against an entrenched enemy. Earlier, a shaky officer had stopped the attack prematurely, causing Capt. Richard Winters to send in Speirs to take charge. Having rallied the men, Speirs now leads the final Easy Company assault. In the days to follow, the Allied breakout would prove unstoppable, and the Battle of the Bulge would end in victory.

thinking about joe being one of the tough ones – even when his leg got blown off in bastonge, he didn't give up and tried—and god damn, did he try—to stand up on his own to find cover, and here comes bill looking for his friend, despite of—no, he wasn't scared of the shelling one bit, not if it'll save his friend. joe's a tough one but bill showed that just because you're tough, doesn't mean you gotta go through it alone. because, hey, "once we get into combat, the only person you can trust is yourself and the fella next to you."

#hey long as he's a paratrooper #THEY ARE REALLY A BAND OF BROTHERS #THAT'S WHY I LOVE BAND OF BROTHERS SO MUCH #THEY TRAINED FOR SO LONG AND HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACKS NO MATTER WHAT #NO MATTER WHAT!!!! #I TELL YOU #im just gonna cry over here #joe toye #bill guarnere #band of brothers #bofb #hbo war

Three members of the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team display the typical loadout of gear worn by US Paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on D-Day.

The WWII ADT was one of several groups of airborne re-enactors that jumped in period-correct uniforms and gear, with authentic military canopy parachutes, from a fleet of C-47 ‘Dakotas’ onto original D-Day drop zones during the 75th anniversary of D-Day on June 6, 2019.
