Tom Hanks introduces the "remarkable" (Publishers Weekly) true story of two inseparable friends and soldiers portrayed in the HBO(R) miniseries Band of Brothers.

William "Wild Bill" Guarnere and Edward "Babe" Heffron were among the first paratroopers of the U.S. Army--members of an elite unit of the 101st Airborne Division called Easy Company. The crack unit was called upon for every high-risk operation of the war, including D-Day, Operation Market Garden in Holland, the Battle of the Bulge, and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden.

In his own words, Guarnere gives a gripping account of D-Day from the paratrooper's perspective. Both men vividly re-create dropping into Holland to capture the roads and bridges between Eindhoven and Arnhem, known as Hell's Highway. Through much of 1944 both friends fought side by side--until Guarnere lost his right leg in the Battle of the Bulge and was sent home. Heffron went on to liberate slave labor and concentration camps and capture Hitler's Eagle's Nest hideout.

United by their experience, the two reconnected at the war's end and were inseparable up until their deaths. Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends is a tribute to the lasting bond forged between comrades in arms under fire and to all the brave men who fought fearlessly for freedom.

This baby "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"!
Pattern Name: Platypus
I have three Labs who LOVE playing tug of war with each other and their human family. I bought this stretchy plushie on a whim and it has become one of their favorites! Our pups pull HARD and this thing can TAKE IT without ripping or losing it's elasticity. It does have some holes and has lost an ear, but it is still functional - just a bit raggedy. ANY plushie that lasts more than a couple days with these ladies is a winner...and this one has been played with daily for several WEEKS at this point! If you have strong pullers who also like the soft, squeaky feel of a plushie, this toy is a sure bet.

It survived longer than others
Pattern Name: Pull Monkey, Pattern Name: Pull Monkey
My Maltese mix has destroyed every single one of his squeaker toys within a week. This is the only stuffed toy I've found so far that lasted almost 2 months before he successfully gutted and 3 months before it officially needed to be replaced. I mean, just look at the image and see the rough play it's been through. I do wish the squeaker was larger to help it survive just a bit longer but I am pretty happy with this toy and so is my dog. The rope arms and legs are great features as they slide through the body and really helps encourage tug play. The price is fair for the size and quality of the construction and is overall a pretty good purchase. I plan to buy a few more to keep as backup.

Great toy for dogs who like to pull
Pattern Name: Pull Monkey
My dog loves tug of war (non-stop) and I thought this would be perfect for him. He loves it. He plays with it constantly and it's held up to the non stop pulling.

Very durable and adorable
Pattern Name: Octopus Purple
My dog absolutely adores this toy! She has a habit of destroying stuffies really quick, but this cute octopus has lasted so far. I love the legs that stretch out so we can play tug of war! I am going to buy another one in a different color! Def worth buying!
