We all learned about D-Day in history class. Well at least they used to teach about it, I'm not sure now. Saving Private Ryan gave us a very graphic and realistic look at what it could have been like. This is a look inside those bunkers they had to go up against. 🇺🇲 The greatest generation.

Easy Company’s Dick Winters describes a flashback he had in civilian life while walking down the street in Lancaster. 🪖

[History vs Hollywood @HistoryvsHllywd]

The Pennsylvania State Senate is urging Congress to award the Medal of Honor to the late "Band of Brothers" hero Major Richard ‘Dick’ Winters. The former Easy Company commander was portrayed by Damian Lewis in the HBO miniseries. Winters was recommended for the Medal of Honor during WWII for his leadership at Brécourt Manor in Normandy on D-Day, but he instead received the Distinguished Service Cross (in part due to the Army's quota system at the time of only one Medal of Honor per division for the Normandy campaign and it was already being given to Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole). A previous attempt was made in 2007 but the bill to grant Winters the Medal died in the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Military Personnel. #BandofBrothers #RichardWinters #ww2 #EasyCompany #WWII #ww2history

En 1968, Mario Puzo tenía 47 años y debía 20.000 dólares a prestamistas, bancos y familiares.

Paramount Pictures le ofreció apenas 12.500 dólares por los derechos de su novela sin terminar, y su agente le rogó que rechazara la oferta. Puzo firmó igual, porque necesitaba dinero urgente para pagar sus deudas de juego. Ese manuscrito inconcluso se llamaría El Padrino, y cambiaría la historia del cine para siempre.

La novela salió publicada en 1969 y pasó 67 semanas en la lista de los más vendidos del New York Times, vendiendo más de nueve millones de copias en solo dos años. En sus propias memorias, Puzo admitió sin vergüenza que la había escrito para hacer dinero, no arte: "Tenía 45 años y estaba cansado de ser un artista. Además, debía 20.000 dólares", escribió.

Cuando Paramount le pidió que adaptara la novela al cine, apareció un problema enorme: Puzo nunca antes había escrito un guion. Aun así, aceptó. Trabajó junto al director Francis Ford Coppola, aunque su hijo mayor, Anthony, contó que su padre llegó a esa reunión preparado para decir que no. El resultado fue El Padrino (1972), que ese año se convirtió en la película más taquillera del mundo.

La Academia de Hollywood le entregó el Oscar al Mejor Guion Adaptado en 1972 por la primera película, y nuevamente en 1974 por El Padrino Parte II. Dos premios. Para alguien que nunca había escrito un guion antes de todo esto.

Después de esas dos estatuillas, Puzo decidió que era hora de aprender cómo se hacía aquello. Compró un libro de técnica para escribir guiones.

Lo abrió, leyó la primera página, y ahí estaba: el libro recomendaba estudiar El Padrino como el mejor ejemplo del arte cinematográfico. Su hijo Anthony lo contó así:

"Mi padre compró un libro sobre cómo escribir guiones. En la primera página decía: 'El mejor guion jamás escrito fue El Padrino'. Después de leer eso, lo tiró."

In the summer of 1944 on Saipan, Marine Pvt. Raymond Hubert was simply trying to wash the sand from his feet after days of brutal fighting.

A combat photographer saw him & asked for a quick pose…what resulted became one of the most iconic photographs of the Pacific War.

Pvt. Hubert was a BAR man with the 8th Marines of the 2nd Marine Division.

In the photo, he’s sitting on an unexploded 16-inch naval shell from the pre-invasion bombardment.

The M1 Garand he’s holding is not even his… a fellow Marine handed it to him for the picture.
It wasn’t staged combat. It was a rare moment of respite amid the hell of Saipan.

Hubert survived the island’s savage fighting & the rest of the war. He returned home to Detroit & built a life as a tool & die maker in the automobile industry, helping to power America’s postwar boom.

Hubert passed away on May 17, 1988, at age 63.

His image later inspired a mural at Camp Pendleton…a tribute to the Marines who fought across the Pacific.
