Lt. Lynn “Buck” Compton: Above and Beyond

‘If you are familiar with the epic mini-series “Band of Brothers”, an HBO screenplay based on the novel written by acclaimed military historian Stephen Ambrose, then the name Lt. Lynn “Buck” Compton will surely ring a bell. Compton, played by actor Neal McDonough, was a highly esteemed officer in Easy Company, part of the famed “Screaming Eagles” of the 101st Airborne. The unit was awarded with the Presidential Unit Citation for holding the main line of resistance during Hitler’s last counteroffensive in the Battle of the Bulge.’
