There have been many great moments with Jim and other members of "The Band of Brothers," were a unique group. They regularly would have get togethets, and meetings plus share their WWII experiences with generation after generation here and in Europe. Jim and others were active to their final moments. "PeeWee" will be long remembered by all of us who knew and loved him. Due to my father also being one of the 101st Airborne Easy Company, we were fortunate to see Jim at many functions throughout...
