If you like war memoirs \u2014 and WWII memoirs in particular \u2014 then you have to read Band of Brothers.

Hell, even if you don\u2019t like war memoirs (or don\u2019t know if you like them) but do like to read about how ordinary people find the courage and capability to do extraordinary things, then you should read it, because Band of Brothers is so much more than a clinical recounting of battles or analysis of soldiering.

It\u2019s an inspiring story of how a motley crew of freewheeling young bucks became one of the most elite and effective light infantry units to fight in the European theater, and it follows them from beginning to end, from their grueling basic training to jumping into Normandy on D-Day, holding the line in the Battle of the Bulge, and, in the end, drinking Hitler\u2019s champagne in the Bavarian Alps.

Band of Brothers also made me #thankful365 that Hitler had to fight the GI Generation and not our current crop of spineless, self-absorbed, \u201csafe space\u201d Peter Pans and Pams that can\u2019t even stomach the basic realities and responsibilities of adulthood, let alone fighting the Nazi war machine.

Methinks the latter would have rather stayed home, smoked a bowl, and spluttered a few \u201csieg heils\u201d\u2026
