Easy Company, 506th PIR - Reenacted Company "E", 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division - is a living history unit.

More commonly referred to as "Easy Company", our unit stretches from New England down into the Mid-Atlantic region. Currently our roster has 55 members, of which more than half are "active" participating in 90% of our events. We have a goal of being a typical WWII company size, of over 110 men. As we move forward toward our goal is expanding into the Mid-Atlantic with committed and responsible ind

ividuals allowing us to increase attendance to more events in the Mid-Atlantic. Former company commander, Frank Sollitto, founded our reenactment organization on 6 June 1985. Frank maintained an uninterrupted and active presence in the WWII reenacting community until his retirement on 24 July 2008. Upon his retirement, Frank tapped current platoon leaders Pete Coombs and Joe Muccia to command E Company. Joe Muccia has been proudly commanding Easy Company since Pete’s retirement from the unit in 2012. As of September 2014, the unit has participated in almost 525 commemorative, educational, living history, or tactical events at venues located from Maine to North Carolina. Our goal is to accurately portray the Airborne troopers of "Easy-506". We participate in WWII tactical battle events (both private and public), living history, and display programs. Part of that goal is a continuing effort to focus attention on the service and sacrifice of the veterans of "Easy Company" and, by extension, all veterans of the United States Military. We strive to constantly improve our individual impressions, and have the best unit display of period arms, uniforms, equipment, and memorabilia. The unit has had the honor of establishing many lasting friendships with veterans of Easy Company, and their brother units, and we cherish our shared time with these veterans as some of the best moments in our reenacting experience. In addition we have been recognized by, and have received awards for our efforts from veterans groups and civic/federal authorities on numerous occasions throughout our twenty-nine year history. Currahee!!

Broska was a post Normandy replacement assigned to Sergeant Joe Toye’s 1st Squad, 2nd Platoon. Broska made the 17 September 1944 jump into Holland as part of Operation Market-Garden and the time on “the Island.” He later participated in the cold, horrible fighting of the Bastogne campaign.

In remembrance of the 20 November 1920 birthday of Easy Company veteran Staff Sergeant Denver ‘Bull’ Randleman.
Bull served in Easy Company’s 1st Platoon from the time he joined the company in Toccoa, until he was sent home at the end of the war. He was a stalwart and one of the platoon’s earliest NCOs. No nonsense, tough-as-they come and “strictly GI”, Bull was the epitome of Easy’s non-commissioned officer corps. An up-from-the-ranks, true leader, he was someone that the men could count on for friendship as well as tactical proficiency.
Raise your glass up to this fine Paratrooper, CURRAHEE!!!

In remembrance of the 16 November 1916 birthday of Easy Company veteran Lieutenant Warren R. Roush.
Roush joined Easy's 2nd Platoon in Toccoa, made the march to Ft. Benning and was the senior officer in the platoon when Buck Compton joined 2nd in England. Roush was wounded in Normandy, and from all the descriptions he had injured one of his ankles on the jump when he landed on the southern side of St. Mere Eglise. He struggled along with a mixed bag unit led by Harry Welsh and arrived at Le Grand Chemin just after the guns were taken. He was later evacuated through Utah Beach. After convalescing, he returned to the 506th and was assigned to Able Company, 1st Battalion, where he spent the remainder of the war.

Take a moment to remember Warren, CURRAHEE!!!

In remembrance of the 9 November 1921 birthday of Easy Company veteran Staff Sergeant Don “Pappy” King.
Pappy joined Easy Company right after Normandy and was assigned to 3rd Platoon. Like many of the other new men, he benefited from the experiences of the veterans of D-Day, learning to advance under machine gun fire on the training fields of England. Even though several missions were cancelled Pappy finally got his gold star on his jump wings when he parachuted into Holland in September of 1944.
He also took part in the defense of Bastogne, often times sharing a foxhole with Herb Suerth. By the end of the war, Pappy had advanced to the rank of staff sergeant. He was a genial man with a homespun sense of humor and is missed by all that knew him.

So take a moment to remember this fine paratrooper. CURRAHEE!!!
