### **Biography of Frank Soboleski**

Frank Soboleski served with distinction in **Company E, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division**, famously known as the **“Band of Brothers.”** Trained at **Camp Toccoa, Georgia**, Soboleski was among the elite paratroopers who participated in some of the most pivotal battles of World War II.

Soboleski parachuted into Normandy on **D-Day, June 6, 1944**, and fought in the grueling campaigns of **Operation Market Garden** in Holland and the **Battle of the Bulge** in Bastogne. As a paratrooper, he demonstrated the courage, endurance, and camaraderie that have come to define the legacy of Easy Company.

After the war, Soboleski, like many of his comrades, led a quiet civilian life. He later gained recognition following the widespread popularity of **Stephen E. Ambrose’s 1992 book _Band of Brothers_** and the subsequent **HBO miniseries** produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, which brought global awareness to the sacrifices and heroism of Easy Company.
