Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there were some 16,000,000 American Veterans who took part in the Victory in WWII. I find it disheartening that the vast majority of those who are still living will never see another dime for the part they played in that victory. Since "Band of Brothers" first aired, this one particular unit seems to be getting most of the accolades and almost all the financial rewards. To me this is the greater tragedy here, and this has been bothering me for some time. I think all Veterans deserve more for what they did. It's a real shame that things have turned out this way.
