The monument was dedicated to Easy company for the fighting they did in the Bois Jacques outside of Foy during the Battle of the Bulge. The monument was established after Band of Brothers was filmed.  In the nearby woods there are many foxholes that still remain from the battle. 

Description


E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States)

Easy Company, 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, the "Screaming Eagles", is one of the best-known companies in the United States Army. Their experiences in World War II are the subject of the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers based on the book of the same name by historian Stephen Ambrose. In 2009, twenty of the last few remaining survivors from Easy Company recounted their stories in the oral-history book project We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories From the Band of Brothers.
