THE NORMANDY INSTITUTE PAYS HOMAGE TO THE MEN OF EASY COMPANY
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the series “band of Brothers”
On September 9, 2001, the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers aired its first two episodes. Two days later the world was in shock as planes crashed into the Twin Towers in New York. The attack remains one on the most traumatic events in history. In effect, “Band”, as the series is affectionally known, proved to be the test of what we could bear to watch compared to what we had no choice but to watch.
The series “Band of Brothers” was a balm for the shock of 9/11, we take a look back to the 2005 Easy Company Reunion tour in Europe.
The Normandy Institute and Genesis Publications, present a short film of the 2005 European Reunion Tour of Easy Company.
The series Band of Brothers has come to signify the courage and sacrifice of those who took part in World War II – and will form part of the fabric of the story of humanity. Walk in the footsteps of Easy Company 506 – the real Band of Brothers - for the 20th anniversary of the epic HBO mini-series Band of Brothers.
In 2008 Genesis Publications, based in the UK, published the definitive Band of Brothers book with a foreword by Tom Hanks and an afterword by Steven Spielberg. Damian Lewis presented a homage to Dick Winters.
