Soldiers featured in the game | Forums

I am related to a Lieutenant Colonel that recieved the Medal of Honor in WW2. It is Lt. Col. Robert G Cole. I don't know much about him all I really know is that he was in the 502nd PIR and he won the MoH. From what I found out about him is that he lead his battalion through 4 bridges on the way to Carentan. When I heard that Brothers In Arms was based on the 502nd PIR I was wondering if he would be featured in the game. I don't know much about him and I was wondering if he was in the game and if anyone could find anything on him for me.

Lt. Col Cole is a character in the game and one of the few characters that did not undergo a name change from history to the game. The action for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor ("Cole's Charge") will be in the game.

There were more Medals of Honor awarded on Iwo Jima than the rest of the war. The Marines in the Pacific have long been ignored while their BiA in Europe received attention.

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are reportedly either considering or working on a "Band of Brothers" for the Pacific. I think it's long overdue. Europe gets "The Longest Day" and the Pacific troops got "Sands of Iwo Jima" ... what a raw deal.
