Today, it has been 70 years since two NCOs coming from Easy Company of
the 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division, SSGT Warren
“Skip” Muck and PFC Alex Penkala, both from 2nd Platoon made their
ultimate sacrifice for their country the United States of America, as
they fell victim to German artilery fires in their foxhole position near
Foy, Belgium, right in front of their buddies 1SGT Carwood Lipton and
T4G George Luz! This experience was yet another big blow to TSGT Donald
Malarkey, who already lost battle buddies in the days beforehand.
Indeed,
at the end of the day, Easy Coy. was never the same, and the road was
set for the company’s future savior, in the person of 1LT Ronald Spiers.
ETERNAL GLORY TO THE MEMORY OF THE FALLEN OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR!!
