The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Oldest Member of "Band of Brothers" Dies

By Timberly Rose, January 22, 2011.

ED MAUSER, 94 died Jan. 21st.

Mr. Mauser kept his military service secret until the mini-series came out.

He was born in 1916 in LaSalle, Illinois, and drafted in 1942 ad volunteered to join the 101st Airborne Division and was assigned to Co. E, 506th Regiment.  With them, he was at D-Day and Operation Market Garden, but was not one of the soldiers portrayed in the mini-series.  He loved the TV show and watched it many times.
