Albert Blithe Tribute [Band of Brothers]

Albert Blithe, Private First Class, 101st Airborne, Easy Company. To me, he was one of the most tender of all the soldiers of Easy Company. This video show a brief glimpse of this tender soldier who was shot in the neck by a German sniper in France.

Albert was terrified of fighting. I think war simply broke his heart. The one man that he did kill...oh, I cried and he did as well...after the battle was over he went to see the man he shot. He was a beautiful man and he had the flower of edelweiss, which grows above the tree line of the Alps. It is the mark of a true soldier for in order to obtain this flower, one must climb the Alps first. Albert tenderly looks at he man...this soldier had an edelweiss flower on his uniform and sweet Albert gently took the flower and tucked it into his uniform to mark that the both were true soldiers...
