### **Ed Mauser – Company E, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division**

Ed Mauser (1916–2011) served with valor as a member of **Company E (“Easy Company”), 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment**, part of the **101st Airborne Division**—one of the most celebrated units of World War II. Mauser parachuted into Normandy on **D-Day, June 6, 1944**, and later fought in Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge in Bastogne, and the final Allied push into Germany.

Though quiet about his wartime service for many years, Mauser’s role in the war gained recognition following the release of the **HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers,”** based on the book by historian Stephen E. Ambrose. Mauser, like many of his Easy Company comrades, was later honored for his extraordinary service, humility, and bravery under fire.
