Band Of Brothers Hero, Darrell ‘Shifty’ Powers Dies
June 20th 2009
“The world depended on them. They depended on each other.”
Powers, a Dickenson County native, died earlier this week at age 86 following a battle with cancer.
No Staples Center funeral. No mass 24/7 media coverage. Nothing except small article in the back section of the newspaper. And I only found it by accident today on a unelated rumor busting website. This happened a month ago.
:cort:
RIP.
Old news.
Shame though, sad to read about our World War II veterans dying. Pretty soon there will be none left...

The actual BoB guy.
This really pissed me off. I didnt hear this anywhere, and it happened a month ago.

They should have a special on TV for this, showing all the band of brothers episodes
History Channel does that every other weekend already.

Well they did a great job on it. I wonder if they will make more of them for some other company, maybe one over in the pacific?
