Band of Brother's II

I drove over to the Josephine County Fairgrounds in Grants Pass last night to a Republican fundraiser hosted by Don Malarkey and Buck Compton two of of the Band of Brothers featured in the HBO mini series. I met both of them and Vance D Day the new Chairman of the Oregon Republican Party. They gave a very moving presentation. They played parts of the DVD of the series and the veterans talked about their experiences during the war and showed lots of pictures from their private collection. Malarkey talked about meeting Ike and Churchill before D- day and that Ike, when he found out Malarkey was a student at the University of Oregon before the war, asked him the score of the last Oregon vs Oregon State football game. Click on the title above for a Eugene Register Guard story about the presentations they are making on their trip around Oregon. I got both of them to autograph my DVD set of Band of Brothers.
