Hi i watched the episode that featured what Medic Roe did for Easy Company and it just got to me. Im 13 and Medic Roe is officially my WW2 Hero. he did so many things and saved a whole bunch of lives. I wanted to honor him by being him for halloween. Medic Roe, you are greatly remembered sir!

Hi, I watched an episode that featured Medic Eugene Roe. My husband and I were wondering what happened to the Nurse that helped and talked to him during that horrible time that he went through. He seemed to be taken by her, and were saddened at the end of the show to see that she might have perished. Did he ever say anything about her? Also, I just wanted to add that it gave me such a warm feeling to know that he lived a long life and was happy. I enjoyed seeing pictures of him. I was very overwhelmed just to see Medic Roe as you all saw him. Thank you for sharing him with the world.

Hi...in regards to Gloria's question, I was wondering the same thing about the nurse. However, I have a pretty good idea that she did die when the church she was in was bombed. It was a heartbreaking scene for my friends and I when Eugene reached into the rubble and pulled out the bandana she had been wearing. Since watching that episode Medic Eugene Roe has become one of my favorite people in the miniseries along with Perconte, Gaurnere, and Winters. I have long since been interested in the history during WWII and this series has helped me to learn the remarkable harsh reality of the war and the enormous bravery of the men who fought and died in the war. Medic Roe seemed like a wonderful man and I am glad that the miniseries has allowed me to see one part of his life. =0)

Medic Roe is so cool! I would have loved to have known him. He's my favorite; he and "Wild Bill". Nixon's pretty cool, as well as Winters. But Roe is a great unsung hero. He'll always be mine.
And, Medic Chin(from above): you are honoring him greatly! Keep it up!

Hi I am also 13, and I definitly agree with Medic Chin. I have been really getting into Band of Brothers and so far for Halloween i have decided to be a paratrooper. I like studying and learning about World War 2 and especially about Easy Company. I think that paratroopers are one of the most bravest and courageous people on earth. I have never seen any movie or show showing what the medics do during a war and ever since i have seen ch. 6, I really am interested in learning more about medic's experiences; like Medic Roe. And I thank him and many other medics for saving so many lives.

I never met the man and was quite astonished while watching a recent episode of Band of Brothers to find out that Mr. Roe is a relative, though very distant. He is my half cousin, three times removed. Needless to say, I was already impressed by the mini series and even more so now.

I haven't had time to review the site much, but here's part of Mr. Roe's obituary (in part) should anyone be interested ...

Publication Date: January 02, 1999
Source: Saturday State Times/Morning Advocate
Obituary: ROE SR., EUGENE GILBERT "BUD"

A retired construction contractor and a resident of Denham Springs, he died at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30, 1998, at his home. He was 76 and a native of Bayou Chene. He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II. He served in the European Theater during World War II, participating in the D-Day invasion of Normandy as a paratrooper and medic in the "E" Company, 101st Airborne Division. He also served with allied forces defending Bastogne, Belgium, in the Battle of the Bulge. He received the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and the Medal of Valor for his services to our country.

mr. roe, as to echo other's sentiments, is my hero too. the episode that described his POV of the forrest has impacted me greatly. for several days i found it hard to concentrate on anything else, my mind would wander back to the episode. to all the members of roe's family, i sincerely hope *and by all of my lurkings on this page,i can plainly see* you take pride in your relatives accomplishments.

The episode is the best in the series and Roe is the most humane of the men --willing to risk his life to save others. The series taken as a whole is a brilliant piece of work and perhaps the best TV series ever made. The book is a masterpiece and the series uses the raw material very well as this episode demonstrates. By series end I was mourning the dead of Easy Company and enjoying the presence of the "real" survivors.

Hey every 1. im 17 and live in england. i ve always been interested in stuff that happened in the wars 1 n 2 because my great grandfather and my grandads brother are veterans of world war 1 and 2. my grandads brother was in world war 2 he was in the raf and my great grandfather was in world war 1. i was touched when i saw the episode about eugene roe. his courage and bravery was astounding. if i had to choose a group of people to be my role models it would definately be the men of easy company because whatever they were put through the stay together never lost hope and always showed great courage and bravery. these men along with the rest of the world war 2 veterans should be honured for the rest of the lives and never forgotton. i know my children will know the story of easy company and i will make sure they know just how brave these men were.

So glad i'm not alone. I've been fascinated by the wars for years and have done a ton of research for a novel based in the first WW. It isn't something I talk to friends about cos being a girlie I think they might think i'm a wee bit strange.
I cannot ever get over the enormous losses of both wars - whether it's just sentimentality I dunno, but I never fail to be moved by any of the accounts I read. I think my children have a greater understanding of the human sacrifices made and the real heroes of the world; I hope so anyway. They watch BoB and talk about it alot with their friends so I think it's leaving it's mark.
Next year i'm off to walk the battle fields - i'll have fun trying to explain that to my buddies!

Wow - this website was just what i was looking for. episode 6 was the first series i saw all the way thru. i was so glad i taped it. no tv programme has effected me the way that episode 6 did. i had it buzzin around in my head for the whole weekend. ive never let a tv show get me depressed before but this one did! it was amazing how in just 50 minutes, you could almost see everything about the character of Eugene Roe. i thought Shane Taylor played him excellently and i really want to contact him at some point to congratulate him!!! Eugene Roe was such a damn cool bloke. i really wanted the nurse to be alive and it was so sad when he picked up her bandana. he seemed the only person who was real in a way - all he wanted to do was help peple and not try and be the hero (even tho he was.) i am a total pacifist but i appreciate what everyone in WW2 did - including Eugene Roe. sorry - i sorta had to let that out of my system cos i didnt have anyone to talk to about it as they dont watch the show!!! thanks so much everyone - ZERO*

none of my friends watch the show either. my mam watches it but she doesnt see it from the smae point of view as i do. i heard a story the other day bout an american soldier who met a girl while he was fighting in world war 2. they fell in love but when the war ended they were separated. neways they both married and had families off their own. just recently they met 4 the first time since the war. the guy was a widower and the lady was divorced. they've rekindled their love 4 each other. isn't that such a lush story?

Your grandfather helped my dad Lt. Buck Compton to survive. After he had been shot in the butt, he said "let the Germans take care of me", but with the help of his brothers and Medic Roe they laid him on an old door and got him to a hospital. Like the others said Medic Roe was an angel. He was always there when needed, and yet stayed out of danger all the time. Who else could have done that but an angel? Your tribute to him and time spent on this website is incredible and well-deserved. Keep up the good work. Tracy Compton

As a history major, I've become extremely interested in WWII and the men who fought in it. Studying history can be so one dimensional at times, to the point where all the emotion and human-ness is taken out of it and it becomes mere fact. The personal stories are what makes the history. Once you see it through the eyes of someone who's been through that kind of experience, you never see the events in the same light again. You hurt when they hurt, you laugh when they laugh, you cry for the soldiers who never made it home. So, I just would like to say thanks in a small way to the veterans for sharing their stories, for not letting us forget that there are things worth fighting for, and for giving us heroes.

Hello, Ive been watching the re-runs on the BBC over here in England and i've been as engrosed with the series as i was the first time around.

Over the past few months i have been working in the small village of Aldbourne. Its strange to think that these amazing men spent some of thier time here.

If anyone has any adresses to the veterens of Easy, can i please have them, it would be great to email them.

Sorry Irene.

You are correct. (Well, sort of.) I think(??) that UK Drama is owned by the BBC, and as such i generalised.

Im not sure if it to be reshown on the BBC Terestrial channels at any time soon. Although a letter to points of view a few weeks ago asked about when the Video/DVD would be out on general sale? The answer was "November. Just in time for Christmas"

The re-run of Band of Brothers has just finished over here on UK Drama, and over the last few weeks I have once again been enthralled by the exploits of the men of Easy Co. during the war. The best character portrayals, by far, are of Major Winters, Capt. Speirs (as was), and Medic Roe; what a wonderful man Mr. Roe must have been. Over here in the UK it is not always easy to identify with our war heroes, as the ideals they fought for become swamped, with our once great nation going steadily down the pan. Congratulations to you guys in the States for being able to appreciate still what men such as Major Winters, Captain Speirs and Medic Roe did for us all.
p.s. For UK readers, an insight into Easy Co. starts Tues. 9th July on UK Horizons at 9p.m.

By Michael B. Sumner (Gobyfish) (62.60.62.253) on Tuesday, August 13, 2002 - 06:15 pm:

I watched BoB when it was screened by the BBC to start with last November. Both my grandfathers played their part in the war, one in Atlantic & Malta convoys, the other on barrage balloons in 'doodlebug alley'. A very good friend of mines husband, now deceased, was in the English drop on Pegasus. I have the beret that he wore that night. I have always had an avid interest in WW2 not least because of recurring dreams that I get but also I didn't have a tv til 5 years ago so most of my time I spent reading. I watched BoB purely because of this and can never view as an enterainment, more of a living diary docoumentry. The Bastoigne episode struck me in particular because it centred on Eugene, and the way in which he coped and dealt with a situation that can in no way be imagined by us today. Especially the scene where he squatted against a tree and watched the men walk into the snow haze.

I have a deep interest in "Operation Market Garden", in particular Arnhem as this was one of the fields in which I studied to start with. The losses which we suffered (the English) were to have an effect on some veterans of the campaign, sadly no longer with us, for the rest of their lives. Even when one was dying from cancer he always said that the pain he felt in losing his comrades in Arnhem was greater then what he felt as he lay in his hospital bed. He had to swim the river four times in one night to relay messages to and from command posts, in very cold water, and also under fire on two occaisions. I can never imagine what that must have been like, or for men who had to send him. General Urquhart was also the grandfather of one of my lecturers at school.

It is only with a site like yours that such men can be rembered by the generations of today. I was struck by the age of some of the people who have left messages, Emma at 17, annother at 13. These are the ones who have to carry the message into the future to keep the memories alive. I myself at 25 feel old to most other people my age having had to absorb facts like the holocaust and most theatres of war much earlier than any of my peers, (I used to get bullied for being a Nazi sympathiser because I knew more about it than kids my age were supposed to), and RE and History lectures were always difficult because of having studied it so much I never got upset or angry about the subject. One lecturer in particular didn't like that because it disrupted his teaching methods to have an unsequestered mind in his class.

Sorry for ranting on, keep up the good work.

The brave young nurse was a Belgian girl by the name of Renee Lemaire. She voluntarily stayed in Bastonge to help our wounded. I am sure that there is a special place in heavean for her.

By Jay Raymond (Jabad513) (4.65.216.4) on Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 02:04 am:

The following is an excerpt from WWII historian Mark Bando regarding nurse Renee Le Maire. He has graciously critiqued every episode of the Band of Brothers series in great detail. He mentions what was real and what was just Hollywood. Very interesting information.

"Regarding nurse Renee LeMaire and the Congolese nurse, both were based on real characters. According to Belgian history buff Roger Marquet, nurse Lemaire worked in the 10th Armored Division aid station, which was situated on the Neufchateau road, some distance from the seminary where Renee was depicted as being killed. The Congolese nurse, named Augusta Chiwi, also worked in an aid station several blocks away from the seminary, and she survived the bombings. Nurse Chiwi was seen as recently as 1999, a cheerful woman in her 70's, living in Brussels. The Seminary is at the east end of the main drag, across from the church. So, it's doubtful that Eugene Roe would even have met those nurses. The seminary began as the 501 regimental C.P. and aid station, although casualties from other units were also treated there. The camera shots from the road coming into town from the north showed the distinctive Bastogne church steeple, which was reproduced for the series (an excellent detail), which I hope was not lost on the viewing audience"

Hi all!

Yes, i do think that Doc Roe was a very courageous, great unsung heroes! From what i've seen in the movie, he was a very dedicated man and very loving towards his brothers in the battle field! After reading some stuff in here, his character is one of my faves in BOB. But my most fave is Richard Winters, simply bcoz he is/was an amazing man! He didn't smoke, he didn't drink, he respect people (even if the person is younger than him), he treats them all equally, and my fave moment in BOB is when one of the paratroopers go blind (in a clinic or something), Winters touched him and suddenly he can see again! That moment just gave me goosebump and at the same time, it really touches me! it's like, he's a real angel!

YES! That baseball match in the final episode! .. ow yeah i cried a river!

Sometimes when you see the episodes, you really think like ; Can people do that?! I mean, Eugene Roe just ran up to people when he heard the word " Medic ". I just think like, There must have been an angel who went in his body and give the thought to go up there, run between the bullets of the enemy and up to the wounded man who needs bandage and morfine!

How can a human beeing do that?
I sometimes wonder.
To risc his life to save an others.

I know what you mean. If i were in his shoes, i'd probably be scared to death with all the shooting going around. See how he put his body in atop his patient when a blast is coming? Truly heroic!
The last episode never fails to make me cry too...

By leanne clarke (Lan) (195.93.48.7) on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 01:44 pm:

It wasn't the baseball game that made me cry, it was when major winters was saying wot they all did after the war and some of the men died. it was really upsetting when he said he was upset that himself and his fellow heroes never got to know life with out war.
i was shocked how so many of them went into construction. i suppose they had the strength for it.
i was wondering if anyone knows any thing about or where i could find information about George Luz?
i would love to sit down with the real men of easy and talk to them.

By Iines (Iines) (195.197.127.145) on Tuesday, November 26, 2002 - 02:25 pm:

Yes, it was so sad, to know that somebody of them died. Especially that when Winters told that Webster went to see and never came back...
I remember i wanted that the last episode never ends. And when i saw tht last glimpse for Winters's face i just thougt that nooooo, it cant be over!! It was very empty feelig that night when i came to bed.
Have you already looked Luz's information from this site? There is one link to some Luz site too. Is he your fafourite?
It would really be so fantastic to see those easy company men and tell them how much we respect them

Not me.
It's sad to hear that the most of the Easy Compagnie members died. In the war but also after. It's a sad story about Webster, isn't it right he allways was interested in sharks, got on the atlantic and never returned? That's so sad. But it's allways sad when some'one dies.

I dont have a number one favourite. i wouldnt be able to choose from all the good men.
George Luz is one of them that i was interested in. the bit about 1600 people coming to his funeral blew me away. he must have been so loved and just from that piece of info you can tell he was a true hero and helped so many people.
i can find loads of info about Doc Roe, Winters, Lipton and others but i couldnt find much about Luz.
thanks to his daughter for e-mailing me though.
i was wondering, did n e 1 else notice that in the last one when they had the lottery to c which man could go home, there was only one piece of paper in the helmet?
did that actually happen?
i couldnt believe it when winters said how shifty got to go home but got into an accident and to stay in hospital for months.
that was awfull.

Lan, i'm from Finland. It must be very very far away from everybody It's so amazing how we all can see each others's texts here even though we live so different parts of world...
Yes, poor Shifty. He was so touching when he tried to explain to Winters about his feelings and didn't got words out of his mouth. It was sad to hear he didn't get home to Virginia.
It was really amazing number that 1600 people came to Luz's funeral. I don't think that tenth part people of it even know me!!
It's hard to me too to choose who's my fafourite of them. Of course i like some men more than others but it's always depends on actor too.
I hope you find more information about Luz

I guess we will all look at the WW2 generation a little diferently. How many of us at some point, got irritated by an old man who may have held up a line we're in, or got mad at that "old geezer"? Not realizing the sacrifices and horrors these people had to endure to secure our freedom. After watching BoB (and Saving Pvt. Ryan), I immediately went to my grandfather, gave him a big hug and mumbled thanks!! He was pleasntly surprised to say the least. (he fought in the Pacific, not in Europe but...)

Hi,
I'm from Thailand. We're having second re-run this month on HBO Asia. I just watched episode 6, again, on Tuesday. That was my 4th view of this particular episode featuring Medic Roe. I'm not sure if the series is popular enough in Thailand. One thing I know is that I only have one friend who can discuss the show with me. He actually helped make Thai subtitle for the cable program. People think I'm a crazy girl who is interested in the stories related to the wars, especially the WW II. Watching the series, I learned more about what those brave guys went to. I respect everyone of them. Thank you for having this site and thanks for letting me be part of it.

Hello A.Watanesk and welcome! I understand what you are going through right now. It's been a year since BoB was first aired here in my country too and i gotta say, i didn't find many people who loves it as much as i do. Now, i'm convincing more and more people to watch it and finally, i have known quite a few people who likes BoB, of course not as much as i do but at least they like it!

people think it's weird how people can be obsessed with people getting killed and all the violence, but thats not why im really into it.
i cant really explain it. i suppose it's the men. i mean how many people would love to have that kind of relationship with their mates.
they went from being complete strangers to more than family with each other.
i think it's amazing what they did for millions of people they dont know
TRUE HEROES

Welcome A.Watanesk!
It's really hard to know why BoB is so wonderfull series. Before BoB i wasn't intrested about anything like wars and warmovies. And it isn't that killing that intrest me either.
We have two popular war movies here in Finland too that i have seen, and they tell about our war very realistic. But i don't like these movies at all. Those men in there are almost all like Cobbs!! I just feel that they doesn't care about each others very much. They just badmouth each others all the time and...they are so different than in BoB.

i know what you mean Iines. i would love to have the closeness like they did with all my mates but since i left school i only ever see a couple of them now. my mate who ive been with since i was 4 moved to Canada a few months ago and the only contact i keep with her is when she phones about every 4 weeks. my very best mate went off to uni a year ago so i dont hardly see her any more either. we talk all the time but it doesnt seem the same and i miss her laods. im well close to my other mate who lives about 5 mins away. she's wicked, we're like sisters. but ive haven't got the kind of closeness with them like the men of easy co, i wish i had.

It's great to see how these guys live with each other. Sometimes they say "Shut up" to each other wich is fine offcourse, and sometimes they comfort eachother when saying "Don't worry, everything's gonne be ok". They get along with eachother like... they're brothers! Hey, Band of Brothers, right?

I always was a girl who was interrested in War, WW2 the most. Soldiers from there must have been through so terribly much wich we could see in treu storys like BoB. I have such a great respect now for men who are like 80 years old now. The veterans who did so much for us. It just give me the feeling like ;They did it for us. What a heroes!

It's great to see that we can talk with each other here, I'm from Holland. BoB ain't verry popular here either, so it's great that i can talk about it with you guys.

Hi Lan and Leonie!
Yes, i wish too i had a friens like those men had. And i too lost one very close and understanding friend when he moved very far away. Sometimes i really feel that my nowaday mates think i'm definitely crazy because i like BoB. It's really sad when i can't speak about it to them. They won't listen You know, it's so terrible when you are dying to tell everything but you can't. Just have to keep everything inside. Or tell to always so understanding dog.
But of course i have this wonderfull site now
I think that relationship like BoB men had can only develop when you live in conditions like they had, when you are defend on each other.

It must of been so scary for them.
i think the medics must of seen some of the worst parts of the war, especially all the men they had to see badly wounded.

By Leonie ten Cate (Lechan) (217.120.162.33) on Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 05:49 am:

oww yeah, I totally agree with you, Leanne.
And what kind of $h|t-feeling would you have if you are working so hard to save a mans life when he dies while your still working to save him!
Man!!! Just think about that! You'll be disapointed and angry and sad at the same time. That must be the worst thing about War i guess...

By Marigold Papa (Marigold) (203.160.183.79) on Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 08:11 am:

But at least the medics tried, they never lost hope to be able to save lives. Eugen Roe was one of the best medics ever...

i would of been proud to have him save my life. his hands must of been the hands of a true saint.
not only did he have to see the horrors of war but he had to see all his friends in that state.
he really was an angel

By Iines (Iines) (195.197.127.168) on Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 02:08 pm:

Yes, i can't understad how they beared that all. I couldn't. To see how friend dies and you can do nothing. Must be terrible. I was so sad about Eugene, especially when he lost even Renee after all that
Nurses were so very good people too, like Renee and that African girl. They saved many lives

By Leonie ten Cate (Lechan) (217.120.162.33) on Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 03:01 am:

Yeah, Eugene said to Renee ; Your hands calm people. Owwww that's so sweet of him to say! God bless the nurses and the medics!!!!!!
They must have bin thrue so much horrors and pain when some-one dies you took care of, but hey! What a great feeling would you have if you saved a friends life up there

By Marigold Papa (Marigold) (203.160.183.79) on Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 07:12 am:

i know, he was lovely, she seemed quite young in the episode. does any one know how old she was in real life?
was his grandma really one of those people who heals with her hands. i for get what they were called.
i felt really sorry for him when winters walked up to his fox holw and he was just sleeping, he looked so cold and tired dear of him.

By Iines (Iines) (195.197.127.12) on Wednesday, December 04, 2002 - 02:21 pm:

Lan, wasn't they "traiteurs" or something like that.
Yes, that must be great feeling when you save somebody's life. And medics saved so many of them
I'm going cold just watching them in those episodes. And Toye didn't even have boots! Terrible But hey, i will go to lean-to for one night next week. I must experience that,spending night outside in winter. Just hope i come back alive

Ok Gold, if you say so But before he said that he was talking about her hands, so i guess that's why i was a bit comfused.

Forgive me
