Easy Company, 101st Airborne Division
Ste. Marie-du-Mont, June 7, 1944
Framed with Ike's D-Day Letter
Members of Easy Company, the "Band Of Brothers", of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division in Ste. Marie-du-Mont, June 7, 1944. The Screaming Eagles were photographed with GI's of the 4th Infantry Division who had come ashore at Utah Beach on D-Day. The photograph was taken by Easy Company member Walter Gordon, using a camera belonging to Forrest Guth (front row, far left). The photograph is autographed in black marker by Guth. The six Easy paratroopers in the photo are (from left): Forrest Guth, Frank Mellet, David Morris, Daniel West, Floyd Talbert, and C.T Smith. Gordon, Guth, Talbert and another E Company paratrooper, John Eubanks, linked up after their jump into Normandy. They spent June 6 defending a crossroads by Utah Beach. This photograph was taken the next day as the Screaming Eagles moved into Ste. Marie-du-Mont after the Germans pulled out.
The artwork also features authentic reproduction Screaming Eagle shoulder patch, Jump Wings, and a copy of Ike's original D-Day message: "Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you..." The letter has been copied from an original in our collection.
