A soldier depicted in HBO’s “Band of Brothers” series was provided an honor guard during his funeral Saturday from soldiers assigned to the same unit he served with in World War II.

Soldiers from the Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, served as honor guards at the funeral for Staff Sgt. Albert Leon Mampre after he passed away on May 31. He was the last surviving medic from the so-called “Band of Brothers.”

“The minute we heard about this we were going to support this (funeral) 100 percent,” Maj. Scott Krasko of the 101st Airborne Division said, according to the Army.
