I'm Lux, a twenty-year-old college student who enjoys history, sarcasm, intelligence and a quick wit. I am a future doctorate candidate for history al la World War II and writer. My biggest weaknesses include expensive alcohol and attractive, dashing young men dressed in 1940s military garb.

Lieutenant Jones wanted to experience combat before the war was over; Don Malarkey had been on the front lines every time Easy Company had seen action since D-Day.

But the decision was not theirs to make.

Eugene Jackson was 20 years old. He lied about his age when he joined the Army at 16. His family, I’m sure, got a telegram saying he died a hero on a mission that would help win the war. In reality, he died on a stretcher in a dank basement in Hagenau, crying out in agony as his friends looked on helplessly. Just another casualty in a war that was supposed to be all but over.
