accepts a frame of "Rendezvous
    With Destiny", a gift from
   The Men of Easy Company
       and Framing History

Shifty Powers explained that all he has left of his uniform is his Ike jacket.
The rest of his uniform, as well as his pay and German pistol collection,
disappeared when he was in the now-famous vehicle accident on his way
back to the U.S.  Shifty is a great guy...just as nice as he is in the
Band Of Brothers DVD interviews.

Third Platoon's Paul Rogers accepts his frame while Frank DeAngelis looks on. Like the rest
of Easy Company, Frank and Paul are top-notch guys. Paul talked at length about the fine men
he served with, and especially those who didn't make it back home. He did shed some light on
how Earl McClung got his nickname of "One Lung". As related by Paul - "Jimmy Alley and I
were taking a break when Captain Hester came up to us, pointed to an abandoned .30 caliber
machine gun that was on the ground, and asked "Who's going to carry that Browning?"
We looked around and saw McClung asleep nearby. We told the Captain "It's his" and pointed
to McClung! Needless to say, Earl wasn't very pleased when he found out what he had to lug
around. Alley and I then came up with the quote which we repeated over and over -
"Who hung the gun on One-Lung McClung?" We repeated our phrase many times as McClung
hauled that gun around!"

The rest, as they say, is history.
