> Will the History Channel broadcast the “wrap-up” episode that aired on HBO after the 10-part series ended? That, to me, was so great to finally get the names associated to the veterans you’ve been seeing all along in the intro pieces to each episode and the character’s based upon their experiences.

It will air after the episode tonight (saturday 4-17) Around 10:20.

In the meantime, if you get your hands on the book and read just the first chapter,  
you’ll see this wonderful Band of Brothers in their proper perspective.

I can almost guarantee you’ll be more impressed than you thought possible.
