Where it Started - the Band of Brothers

In Toccoa, Ga., 1942, a disparate group of young men begins voluntary training to become members of one of America's newest military regiments - the paratroopers. Under the harsh leadership of Lt. Sobel (David Schwimmer), members of the newly formed Easy Company go from green civilians to some of the Army's most elite soldiers. As training progresses, a rivalry flares between Sobel, whom the men despise, and Lt. Winters (Damian Lewis), a junior officer who's earned the respect and admiration of Easy Company.

After enduring basic training at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Easy Company heads to Aldbourne, England to prepare for the invasion of Europe. In the weeks before D-Day, Easy Company heads to Uppottery, England to prepare for the drop into Europe.

"...it has been six months now and you (God) have continued to put them in my life and I have resisted the urge from you, fearing failure.

I am renewed in spirit to seek support and accountability from a "Band of Brother" who would support me in 1.) Daily prayer 2.) Ask me personal questions regarding my life and conduct 3.) support me in times of trouble.

The Band of Brothers: To life a life holy as unto the Lord.

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.... on Christ the solid rock I stand!"

I'm developing this blog to be a place for us to encourage, challenge, carry each other like Easy Company had to do. I too quickly forget the war we are in, the journey of faith is not to be taken alone. Would you stand with me? You are in my prayers.

For HIS Glory!
