Title: Band Of Brothers Hero, Darrell ‘Shifty’ Powers Dies
Post by: Pathfinder on June 30, 2009, 05:21:36 PM

I know they are passing at a tremendous rate, but I am watching Band of Brothers at this moment. I was surfing the net at the same time, and ran across this. He died less than 2 weeks ago.

RIP Mr. Powers, you were one of a great generation.

I wish we had taken better care of what they fought so hard for.

+1 We can never forget what they did for us. Truly the "Greatest Generation."

I'm sure that most of you already know and that you too are anxiously waiting for the "Band of Brothers" follow-up.

Hanks and Speilberg give us "Pacific" in 2010.

Didn't know anything about it. My son mentioned it today, he thought it was called Airborne. No word on IMDB unless it's one of the ones hidden for the pay-for-use people. Now that I've searched for it, I found a bunch of hits on the web - got the HBO go-ahead 2 years ago.

I first heard about it about 2 years ago and I've been waiting for a release date ever since. I saw my first promo for it on HBO last weekend. 'Bout time.
