Band of Brothers: In the Footsteps of Easy Company
Perhaps the trip that means the most to me. Given my close relationship with many of the men of Easy Company, the fact that I traveled to these battlefields with so many of them and that it is the very first tour I designed, even after 20-plus years, this will always be the most special trip I do. Every time I go it is an opportunity for me to remember and feel close to a truly remarkable group of men who were such an important part of my life.
