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.

SICKENING: The shocking moment 'cheating' woman is STRIPPED and BEATEN in broad daylight THIS is the shocking moment a woman accused of sleeping with a married man was stripped naked and BEATEN in broad daylight. Lin Yao Li was ambushed by four women as she walked home from the shops in the Chinese city of Puyang. As Lin's attackers pulled her to the floor they ripped off her clothes while punching and kicking her repeatedly in the breasts and groin. The ringleader of the gang was the scorned wife of the man Lin is accused of sleeping with. The sickening attack was witnessed by passersby who did not even attempt to help the defenceless woman. Local man Jun Feng, 30, who found Lin lying on the ground after the women left told local TV: "This type of thing is becoming quite normal.

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.
