About 0300 the group came across Lieutenant Robert Cole, commander of the 3rd battalion of the 502nd with about fifty men. Cole was leading his column towards his objective, Causeway 3 and the coastal batteries at Ste. Martin-de-Varreville.Since that was roughly the same direction Winters and his men were going, they fell in line. Groping their way through the predawn darkness, Winters watched in disbelief as Cole studied his map with the aid of an unsheilded flashlight. Winters knew Cole and considered him a man who felt invincible, that he could never be hit, and he doubtless would have scoffed the young lieutenant's discomfort over his blatant breach of normal saftey and common sense. Coles bravado would earn him the Congressional Medal of Honor a few days later but would cost him his life in Holland.

(next paragraph was the description of the horse/wagon scene and more Cole reference)

Dori, up above you will see some options like, GO, NEW, FIND and NOTIFY. Click on Go, a drop down will say My Space and Forums, just put your arrow over My Space and another drop down will show. Click on Profile and a new screen will come up. Then at the top right side of it, click edit profile. It will allow you to change, add or delete anything in your profile. You can add an avitar and also a sig. to your profile. If you have an problems, just let me know and I will take you through it step by step.

I doubt Ill ever read another book that talks about Easy 506th. Im so sick of it. Granted, they did their part, but so did the other millions of soldiers in WWII..they are just one little bunch
