We remember.

I'm almost done reading Biggest Brother, and I wanted to share this passage that talks about the premiere of Band of Brothers at Camp Toccoa.


Throughout the event, the actors stayed close by the men they portrayed. [Frank John] Hughes spent a great deal of time with Guarnere, Donnie Wahlberg and his bodyguard (a throwback to his rock 'n' roll days with New Kids on the Block) stayed near Carwood Lipton and Michael Cudlitz with Bull Randleman. Damian Lewis was not able to attend with Winters. It was an emotional day for both the cast members and their veteran counterparts, especially the latter. Following the screening in the auditorium of the Georgia Baptist Conference Center, Don Malarkey went off by himself, tears flowing from his eyes. A woman with actor Scott Grimes, who portrayed the Oregon-born veteran, turned to him and said, "Scott, Malarkey needs you. Go to him." The young actor raced over to the veteran's side and the two spoke softly. As Bull Randleman, with the aid of a walker, and his wife boarded the bus following the reception, Cudlitz hovered behind them, arms outstretched in case either stumbled. From Cudlitz's arm dangled Mrs. Randleman's pocketbook.

HOMG PRECOUSSSSSSSSSS.

ETA: This is mainly for bzzinglikeneon, but other BoB fans might appreciate it. My husband has several old lighters he got from...somewhere, I don't remember, maybe his grandpa. Well, I came across them after we moved a few months ago and found this one.
