Synopsis:
Frankie is a member of Easy Company who spends his time sketching. While drawing he is oblivious to the world around him and is killed during an enemy attack. After his death the other members of Easy find his sketchbook and discover pictures of Sgt. Rock dressed in the uniforms of soldiers from the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War I.
When a tank goes after Easy, Rock throws a grenade into one of its hatches. The explosion knocks him unconscious. He then has vivid dreams of being a soldier and dying in each of the three wars depicted in Frankie's drawings. Rock eventually regains consciousness and believes that the sketches showed that sergeants don't die, they just move on to the next war.
