Hey Joe and Ron:
Well just got done watching Band of Brothers once again. God how I love that series and couldn't help but shed a few tears again tonight especially when they discovered the concentration camp. Wow, that sure tears your heart up. 
But, it sure was a little more difficult to watch the Berchtesgaden part without thinking now of the 3rd Inf Div. Joe, I sure saw you there tonight and saluted you. I wish I could have reached into the TV set and changed the emblems on the sleeves on that 4th day of May 1945, but I DO know whose footfalls first touched the ground that day and soon many, many more will. As with all things, it will come slowly around and every time I watch that episode or anytime someone mentions the Eagle's Nest, I can say, "Hey guys, this is what really happened that day so many years ago.
And to Easy Company I salute all of you and am glad that you got to bask in the glory too as you so rightfully deserved.
