Comments:
This story reveals details about Sgt. Rock's past. A flashback shows that his father was killed in a mine explosion. Rock later went to work in the mine to support his mother and kid brother Eddie. Eddie was later killed in a motorcycle accident.

Synopsis:
Easy Company is joined by five new recruits. Rock assigns four of them to be watched over by the veterans. The fifth, Danny Anderson, he keeps tabs on himself because Danny reminds him of his kid brother Eddie, who dies in a motorcycle accident as a kid. Rock protects Danny during a mortar attack, but Danny is anxious to prove himself.

Later Rock leads a small group to secure and hold a position. Danny is left behind. When Rock and his team are pinned down, Danny disobeys orders and follows them. Danny helps to defeat the attacking Nazis, but he is killed in so doing.
