RIP: Shifty Powers
For those of you who are fans of Band of Brothers I'm sad to pass on the news that Shifty Powers of the heroic Easy Company, 2-506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division, died on June 17th.
Blackfive has some info on the passing of Powers and his life story, including this:
Shifty Powers received two Bronze Stars and a CIB and fought in every campaign that Easy Company was in. He was severely injured on his way home in a truck accident (the irony is that the men of Easy rigged the lottery to go home so Shifty would be first, but he ended up being one of the last to get home after an extensive hospitalization).R.I.P.
