During
the stay in La Roche en Ardenne we visited some places that are important
for Easy Company like the Bois Jacques, the Peacewoods and the Mardasson
Monument.
Don
Malarkey explains to Eilene O'Hara (niece of Skip Muck) how it was during
the terrible weeks in December 1944. Skip Muck and Alex Penkala were killed
instantly when they received a direct hit on their foxhole.

After
Don Malarkey had told something in his own emotional way, Frank Perconte
always managed to relativize by some amusing comment.(r)
The Jeeps were of good help in bringing the veterans into the difficult terrain of the woods.
