David Kenyon Webster among happy inhabitants of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, on September 18th, 1944: "David Kenyon Webster was a member of E Company, 506th Regiment of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division during World War II. He was an aspiring writer who left Harvard to enlist in the paratroops. Webster wrote numerous letters to his family and, after the war ended, wrote a book about his experiences, Parachute Infantry: An American Paratrooper's Memoir of D-Day and the Fall of the Third Reich. Webster's letters home and manuscript were used as source material by Stephen Ambrose for his book Band of Brothers, and as background for the writers of HBO's ten-part miniseries, "Band of Brothers." -
