D-Day veteran Bradford Freeman back in Normandy June 2019, World War II veteran and original member of the "Band of Brothers," Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. The unit was made famous by the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," based on the bestselling book of the same name by historian Stephen Ambrose. It chronicled the wartime experiences of Easy Company as they fought in Europe. On June 6, 1944, better known as D-Day. He, along with the rest of Easy Company and the 501st were about to jump behind enemy lines in support of the largest amphibious assault in history. Freeman recalled his aircraft taking heavy anti-aircraft fire. „It was rattling those planes pretty good," he said. "The bullets were coming through the plane if they were low enough." As he was readying for his first combat jump, Freeman said he may not have known exactly what to expect, but he was sure he wanted out of that flying bullet magnet. „I was glad to get out. I thought every rivet was coming out of that plane the way it was rattling, and then it just dropped," Freeman said. "We knew we were in it then." Once on the ground, it did not take Freeman long to realize he had badly missed his landing zone. Bad weather had pushed the aircraft off target and caused the members of the 501st to be scattered all over the French countryside. „I was way off in the pasture," Freeman said. "We found each other with little clickers; you would click and respond to their click." Freeman fought in every major conflict including Operation Market Garden, the Battle of Bastone, and he played a key role in the cross-river rescue of 125 British paratroopers and five American pilots in Holland. ————————————————— #aircraft #bandofbrothers #101stairborne #freeman #101st #invasion #liberation #france #usa #soldiers #dday #operationoverlord #honor #history #landings #overlord #veteran #normandy #normandie #thenandnow #vets #combat #military #war #easycompany #instahistory #battle #battlefield #ww2 #hero @routes_of_history

I’m always looking for ways of telling stories through the vintage dresses that I make or re-design, and this dress was a pretty great opportunity for that! It’s actually an original dress from the 40s, that was originally a blue-white, but had serious rust stains throughout. So @twooldbeans send it over in case I could give it a new go at life. I dyed it to try to cover the stains, but when it was in the dye bath the rust welted holes through it. So I had this idea, to cover the holes with appliqués inspired by an original photo I found years ago (you can swipe to see that). As I’m sure you all know, during World War II the parachutes were primarily made out of nylon and silk. So I used vintage silk from the 30s that I had left over from a previous project and would have been accurate to the parachutes of the time. I painted little parachutists on them and then hand stitched each one down. Then I just added new buttons! It’s a simple dress, but it makes me think of all my paratroopers, and that makes me happy. • • • #vintagestyle #truevintageootd #twooldbeans #1940shairstyle #1940shair #victoryrolls #parachutists #parachutist #paratrooper #101st #82nd #82ndairborne #vintageshoes #goarmy #1940sstyle #1940sfashion #debarquement #dday #normandie #beforeandafter #refashion #upcycle

He told me that he got his jump ring after he graduated jump School in 1943, and I asked him if I could take a picture of it. I held his hand because as I was looking at him in that moment, I was realizing that that ring told the story of his Youth, and his wrinkled beautiful hand told the story of his Life. @sewingtreble
