This picture was taken at Greenham Common Airfield, England, at about 8:30PM 5JUN44 just before these paratroopers of Easy Company, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, were to board the plane that they were to make their night jump out of over France, kicking off the D-Day Invasion. The #23 around the officer's neck identifies which plane they were assigned to. Some brave men.
