1st Lieutenant Lynn “Buck” Compton, Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division

EASY COMPANY OFFICER

Yesterday I received a wonderful gift from @adammakos and @valorstudiosinc and just had to make a post about it. I received a copy of Buck Compton’s memoir “Call of Duty: My Life Before, During, and After ‘Band of Brothers’” signed by the author himself.

What an incredible piece of history, handled by a famed member and officer of Easy Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division who just recently lost their last member from WWII - making it all the more poignant. Can’t thank them enough.

Compton helped lead Easy Company from D-Day through the Battle of the Bulge before being sent behind the lines for “combat fatigue” after watching two of his best friends get blown apart during an artillery bombardment outside of Foy in early January, 1945. He was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry during the fight for Brecourt Manor and her guns in June, 1944.

After the war, 'Buck' Compton was a California Court of Appeal judge who served as the lead prosecutor in Sirhan Sirhan's trial for the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in 1968. Buck would pass away in 2012 but, his memory lives on.

moments before her execution.

Amanda, moments before her execution, whispers words that stun witnesses and unravel lies. Amanda, a loving mother, had been wrongly accused of kidnapping and murdering Judge Samuel Turner's daughter, Olivia. The trial had been swift and brutal, with public sentiment against her, and her protests of innocence had fallen on deaf ears. One rainy afternoon, Amanda is visited by Judge Turner himself, who delivers a bitter tirade. However, Amanda remains silent, and during his speech, a memory resurfaces, giving her a sudden clarity. She remembers a detail from the day of the crime that she had overlooked, a mention of Turner's grandparents' farm. This realization brings a spark of hope, and Amanda wonders if Emily, her own daughter, could still be alive, hidden away where no one had thought to look. Amanda, who is on death row for a crime she maintains she didn't commit, makes a surprising revelation during her execution. With a newfound deter...

Two boys in this photograph from the early 1900s, taken by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester

Two boys in this photograph from the early 1900s, taken by Dr. Allan Warner of the Isolation Hospital in Leicester, UK, had been exposed to the same source of smallpox. One of them had received the smallpox vaccine, while the other had not. Dr. Warner captured these images as part of his study on the disease. The smallpox vaccine holds historical significance as the first vaccine developed to combat a contagious disease. In 1796, British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the milder cowpox virus could provide immunity against the deadly smallpox virus. Cowpox acted as a natural vaccine until the modern smallpox vaccine became available in the 20th century. From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization led a global vaccination campaign that successfully eradicated smallpox, marking it as the only human disease to be completely eliminated.
