My favorite scene is George and his horse standing by the bridge as the men come back from battle.

          <body><![CDATA[I absolutely love this book, and recommend it to anyone who loves military history.  This is the true source of the famous &quot;band of brothers&quot; line, even if Henry himself didn't say it.  I have mailed this to Iraq in care packages, and to all my nephews, nieces, and cousins on active duty. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33901176">more...</a>]]></body>
