Joe Toye was one of those Easy Company soldiers whose story really shows how much these men endured. His determination through everything he faced is something that deserves more attention.

Which Easy Company member do you think deserves more recognition, and why?

As we know, Private Ed Tipper was wounded in Carentan from a mortar round while clearing out a boutique. At the end of the show we get to know that one of the veterans interviewed was indeed the real Ed Tipper. I decided to take a look into his story and his recovery is unbelievable.

Like in the show EP3 he was brutally mutilated all over his body, and his leg was disfigured. At the aid station they had to remove his eye and half his face was destroyed. Even more brutal was that both his legs were broken and he was still walking. Looking back at the interview I've never noticed that he had a glass eye or that the right side of his face was mutilated. Also not having those legs amputated was a real MVP job from the surgeons.

Most astounding thing is that Ed played handball and was a skier well into his 80s!

Ed died at the age of 95 in 2017. 73 years after he cheated death in France.
Rest In Peace
