NIGHT OF NIGHTS - Framed Collectors Piece
by Gil Cohen
June 6, 1944, above occupied France. With steely eyes, the Band of Brothers paratroopers of the 101st Airborne lunge toward their rendezvous with destiny. Many carry a letter from Gen. Eisenhower that they keep tucked under helmets, in jump boots, and in bulging jacket pockets, close to heart.
It read: “Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.” At the door of each C-47, with chaos a step away, the troopers knew: “Tonight is the Night of Nights.”
Our expert team have framed this special copy to full conservation standards to include a matted fragment of original parachute silk, as used by the men of the 101st Airborne Division, and museum repro Jump Wings.
Adding great authenticity, it has also been personally signed by TEN brave American D-Day veterans including members of Easy Company, the famous 'Band of Brothers':
- Crew Chief TOM BELLITTO
- First Lieutenant Lynn 'Buck' Compton
- Sergeant First Class Donald Malarkey
- Staff Sergeant Earl McClung
- Sergeant Roderick Strohl
- Private First Class Ed Bernat
- Private Ed Joint
- Private First Class Joseph Lesniewski
