Tom Hanks worked with Earl McClung (right) for HBO's "Band of Brothers" which released in 2001. The series tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army and its participation in World War II. The show is based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters. McClung and another member of the Band of Brothers passed away in 2013. At that time, Hanks posted on his social media account a picture of their Screaming Eagle logo and said "In honor and memory of Babe Heffron and Earl McClung. Farewell, Brothers."
