Bradford Freeman, a World War II veteran who was the last living member of the famed "Band of Brothers" company, has died, his family confirmed Tuesday. He was 97.
After he enlisted in the military in 1942, Freeman volunteered to become a paratrooper for the Army, which later assigned him to the 101st Airborne Division, known as Easy Company.
The division's journey parachuting into Normandy, France, on D-Day inspired the book "Band of Brothers," later adapted into the Emmy award-winning HBO series of the same name.
