Jordane Knoob, 43rd Flying Training Squadron, prepare to hoist the American flag aloft during an impromptu surprise birthday celebration for World War II veteran Brad Freeman, one of the E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne soldiers who were the inspiration for the mini-series "Band of Brothers."
