Kerry has invited Joseph Lesniewski, one of the original 'Band of Brothers' from the 'Easy Company' of the 101st Airborne Division.

Lesniewski is one of the 18 living paratroopers from original 147 members of Easy Company. He was part of the 506th Regiment immortalized in the Stephen Ambrose novel Band of Brothers. Lesniewski "jumped" into enemy territory on D-Day during the invasion of Normandy, earning numerous medals including the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star.

He was only mentioned a few times in the book and I think in the mini series he was only shown as the soldier who was with the solider that got shot in the neck. Still, besides his politics, a worthy fellow.

Review of 506th websites do not list Joseph Lesniewski as a member of the 506th. CIB orders for 506th dated June 15,1944 do not list him.

Is this another Bush has one get me one that was not vetted?

Was Joseph Lesniewski really member of E 506th PIR?
