MALARKEY SURPRISE: A highlight of the program was a speech
by Tech Sgt. Don Malarkey, one of the original Band of Brothers--the
paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division in WWII. During
his speech, two of the men he served with snuck in from the
side of the stage to surprise him. In the blue jacket, Lt.
Buck Compton. In the yellow jacket, Sgt. Bill Guarnere. Bottom
