All of you "Band of Brothers" fans will hopefully appreciate this post. A few weeks before I arrived at FOB Ghazni, the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment shipped out. This is the same unit that "Easy Company", made famous by their acts of valor in WWII, is a part of. Their motto "Currahee" is painted on the wall of the flight line, along with their division symbol. For anyone who cares, Currahee is the name of a steep hill outside Camp Toccoa in Georgia. During WWII the members of the 506th would train by running up and down this hill almost daily, to push them to their physical limits.
