Rogers, Paul
(Sergeant Paul Rogers (deceased))

Aged 24, Paul Rogers volunteered to be a Paratrooper in 1942 and soon found himself at Toccoa training under Colonel Sink. When jumping into Europe on D-Day, Paul lost most of his equipment, including his rifle, and his parachute snagged on trees from which he had to cut himself loose; he later found out he had landed eight miles from the intended drop zone. With the 3rd Battalion he fought throughout Normandy but was injured when jumping into Holland as part of Operation Market Garden and subsequently spent four weeks in hospital. Upon rejoining the platoon he stayed with them all the way through to Hitler's Eagles Nest in Berchtesgaden. He died aged 96 on 16th March 2015.

Taylor, Amos Buck
(Sergeant Amos Buck Taylor (deceased))

Having worked in a factory making Sherman Tanks, Buck aided the war effort even further by becoming a Paratrooper and enlisted in July 1942 before being assigned to 3rd Platoon upon his arrival at Toccoa. When jumping into Europe on D-Day he was 2nd Squad Leader but having scattered on the jump, it was not until several days later that he joined up with the rest of the company, just prior to the attack on Carentan during which he was made 3rd Platoon Sergeant. At the Battle of the Bulge, when advancing from Bastogne to Foy, Buck was badly injured when shot in the leg which saw the end of his war spending 11months in hospital. He died on 24th August 2011.

(Private Ed Joint)

101st airborne division, Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. We were sent out to take a machine gun position. It was just before the battle of Foy ended. I was running up a hill and got hit by shrapnel in my right arm. I went flying up in the air, I didn't know at first what hit me. Somebody hollered for a medic. They put me on a stretcher and took me to a field hospital. They couldn't do nothing with it there, so they took me back and put me in a hospital in Paris. A medic said, You can go home now soldier, you ain't going to fight no more. But twenty days later I hitchhiked back to Company E to find them. They were just getting ready to go to Germany. What made me want to go back and fight? I don't know. They were my outfit, my friends.

Bond, Don
(Corporal Don Bond)

I was 15 when Pearl Harbor hit. My brother, Lou, was seven years older than me. Everyone was worried about him having to go into the service. Nobody ever thought I would have to go. My brother went into the Air Force. He went over to Spokane, then to Douglas, Arizona. In four years he never went anywhere except those two places. I was in the service for twenty and a half months and was in nine foreign countries.

Bill was a machine gunner with Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne up until 5 days before D-Day where he was transferred to Headquarters Company. He fought in the campaigns of Normandy, Holland and Bastogne receiving a Purple Heart in each.

Tipper, Ed
(Sergant Ed Tipper (deceased))

Ed Tipper volunteered for the paratroopers and was assigned to Easy Company, 101st Airborne. He made his first jump into Normandy on D-Day. Fighting in Carentan, he was hit by a mortar shell and badly injured. His right eye was damaged, and later removed completely, while both his legs were broken. He was first sent to England then repatriated to the United States. When I came out of the Army I walked with a cane and wore an eye patch. The thing I remember most was the tremendous response of everybody I met to do everything they could do to show support for the military. Maybe the support felt exaggerated to me because I had clearly been shot up and wounded. Whenever I ate at a restaurant I went to the cashier and there was almost never a bill. Or the waitress nodded her head and said, 'A gentleman over at that table has paid.' Of course I was home a year ahead of everybody else. But that sort of thing happened to me a lot. He died on 1st February 2017.
