The Better Brotherhood: We Stand Alone Together

"Currahee." This Cherokee word became a hallmark of the 101st Airborne, with particular significance to the Band of Brothers. While other units were told to shout "Geronimo!" as they jumped from planes on D-Day, the men of Easy Company were under orders to scream this into the air instead. What originally meant "We stand alone" was adapted to mean "We stand alone—together." And that's how they made it to the war and successfully completed their mission—each man bearing his own load, in strength and solidarity with his brother standing next to him. What can we learn from this?

Our round table grows again this week with Dalton Thomas. Come sit in our living room for our family fireside chat about the impact this story, and the incredible word that is "Currahee," has had on us as people and as a family.
