Donald Malarkey was an American soldier who served in World War II as a member of the 101st Airborne Division, also known as the "Screaming Eagles." He was born on July 30, 1921, in Astoria, Oregon, and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942. Malarkey was a part of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which became famous for their heroism during the war. He participated in the D-Day invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and other key engagements in Europe. After the war, Malarkey returned home to Oregon, where he worked for the Oregon Highway Department for 30 years. He passed away on September 30, 2017, at the age of 96.

He lived to be 97 y/o so how is that a sad ending? Lived a long life and was honored everywhere he went.
Totally agree. He and his wife had a great marriage which only ended with his wife’s death. He participated in many Easy Com reunions. Not a sad ending.
The sad ending part is click bait. Despicable for the uploader to use such a crass method to attract viewers to an otherwise fine tribute to a fine man
This is sad that they even use this hero as click bait. Great history, but there’s no reason why these shit bags would do this like this.
@@johnsy4306 agreed
True
Please note that the last surviving World War 2 veteran of the 'Easy' Company, 506 PIR was Bradford Clark Freeman, who died on July the 3rd, 2022. Rest in Peace, may we remember them with respect and historical accuracy.
correct sir. thank you.
He didn’t land on the beaches of Normandy. He was a paratrooper.
Well he had to land somewhere. 🤷♀️
He “landed” well inland from those beaches.
Still, my hats off to him. Who cares where this man landed. He did more in his twenties than most of us do in our entire lives. I salute him.
Yeah lost me right off the mark
He wasn’t in the 82nd airborne division. He served in the 101st airborne.
As a Salemnite resident, I had the pleasure of seeing and bumping into Malarkey many times as he went shopping at the local Safeway in town. Awesome to chat with and he signed a book of mines at a Borders Book Store event many years ago in Salem. Awesome awesome guy to chat with. RIP.
Some years ago I was in a big band from Salem. We had a gig at a senior home on Veterans Day. We played the concert, and at the end they were thanking the Vets in the audience, when his name was announced. It felt so good to entertain him, I hope he enjoyed and had good memories.
00:21 Marlakey did not land on the beaches of Normandy he parachuted in the countryside miles from the beachhead.
The last surviving member of Easy company was Brad Freeman who died in July 2022
And Ed Shames in December of 2021.
How was that a sad ending? Sounds like life fully lived and calm and timely end.
Haha I was just going to ask that.
I guess he means his wife dying then him being the last surviving member of easy?not sure
@@Chris-fl2tt He wasent the last though. Bradford Freeman was. th-cam.com/video/BWljFjUMsmw/w-d-xo.html
This site always uses a supposed tragedy to get viewers. They also do poor research.
I've watched band of brothers many times over all 10 episodes!
Yep likewise. It's on our "Stuff We Watch Every so Often" list.
Me too !
I'v been watching it again during rainy days .
Probably for the 10th time at least !
Malarkey had a pretty good ending. Out lived his wife by a year is sad. But at the ripe old age of 97. We should all be so lucky.
God speed Malark , you have served us all proud. Gone to join your Brothers, your story will not be forgotten. RIP.
The title of your video is a bunch of Malarkey.
You said he was never hurt, but yet he received a purple heart.konw what you're talking about. R.I.P SGT MALARKEY 101st Brother.
He said he was never SEVERELY wounded.
To me, severely, is up there with morterly wonded .when you're shot or caught shrapnel that's severe.I know I've been rhere.
A life well lived. A man who held the true American value..."Selfless Service."
A great man in which we should all look up to, a story book ending!
The Sad Ending is just click bait b.s. to get you to watch the video. Same trick done with several others from Easy Company.
The kit is beautiful, but it's extremely delicate. N8gel beautiful work. Your coloring/ detailing is wonderful
You got several facts wrong. Ed Shames and Bradford Freeman were the last two surviving Easy Co. members. They died in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Read Malarkey's book if you want details of his life.
Rest in Peace, brother
Very sad. He should have lived to 397.
Yeah i thought that,if he has watched band of brothers you would know they landed far away from the beach to destroy the gun battery that was pounding the beach with shells
And boy, did they!
“Malarkey was part of the first waves to land on the beaches of Normandy” lol bro, what?
What sad ending! Stop doing this, please.
Thank you for your Service Sir and Rest in Peace 🌹 🇺🇲
You are disrespecting his legacy with BS computer generated voice over. I am from Oregon and you mispronounce almost every city, town and land mark.
Oregon has always been disrespected by the man ever since it became the hip hop capital of the West coast. Nobody ever takes Astoria seriously on the East coast. It's bananas, yo
0:44 That's a photo of Joe Liebgott, not Malarkey
Why this need to have a click bait title stating that he had a sad ending?
Shame about the click bait title. You do the man a disservice.
as a non-English native speaker, I've problem of understanding why using the word "sad" on the title.
As an English native speaker, I can assure you that the word "sad" does not belong there. Your English is not the problem.
The channel uses clickbait titles to attract viewers, and hope they forget the BS that hooked them. However, it has wrong info, wrong photos, wrong pronunciations, and an annoying narrator voice.

He was not wounded but was awarded the Purple Heart? 🤷🏻♂️
Sgt. Malarkey was not the last surviving member of Easy Company. Bradford Clark Freeman passed away July 3, 2022.
He was absolutely NOT the last survivor of Easy Company! Do you do ANY research for these videos or just cut and paste?
After first watching Band of Brothers, then 1st Lt Sobel seemed to have an attitude towards Pt Marlarkey and again when Marlarkey had gained promotion to Sgt and Sobel to Cpt. No record explained what was Sobel's problem with Marlarkey.
Willamette is pronounced Will-lam-et
Too many errors and miss pronounced places! Sad! A tribute should be flawless……..or nearly so! This video does not serve him well! Please try a little harder…….
What's with the "tragic" title of this podcast? He had a long healthy life with his wife Irene after the horrors of WWII.
He didn't land on the beach, he was a paratrooper
It is pronounced ...... Will - Lam - Met
0:51 that’s a picture of liebgott
Sad ending? Stop the click-baiting. He lived a full and prosperous life and was surrounded by his family at the end.
You need to change the title, this isn't cool. This guy is literally captain America
Had a good long 97 years…I’m glad of it….salute…
0:58 That's Joseph Liebgott.
Sad ending? Click bait. Don led a fantastic life, and some would say.....he lived for those who fell.
Easy didn’t land on the beaches. They were dropped in behind enemy lines.
How can the creator/narrator of these videos regarding Easy Company be so absolutely and utterly filled with incorrect information, mispronounced names and places and wrongful facts accounts 👎 📹
"Private Bullshit," as nicknamed by Lt. Sobel at Camp Toccoa.
He did not land on the Beach. He was a parachutist!
not only did he not land on a beach his name isnt william!
If he was never injured how did he get a Purple Heart medal? 🤔
Sad ending?? Click bait crap.
Lest we forget.
You did a disservice to this legend, get your facts right.
Reziment?
First of all........... he JUMPED into Normandy
He was in the 101st, not the 82nd airborne division. Your researchers did a terrible job. This generation should be thankful they don’t face the axis leaders from the 30’s and 40’s. They couldn’t do what these men did. To soft, and weak. Great men and women back then that thought of others, and were very strong.
You just read wiki… super lame, put your own research together
This youtube video is full of 'malarkey.'
Not a sad ending. Get your facts right.
Opening 30 seconds and already factually incorrect. He didn't land on the beaches of Normandy. He was a paratrooper.
Malark! Where is the best Chow!!?!?!
AI computer generated voice CONFIRMED. "eighty eight em em" should be "eighty eight millimeter" (88 mm)
This clip is riddled with false intel.
lest we forget
CLICKBAIT
AIRBORNE All the Way
CLICKBAIT!!! 👎
What sad ending??
Downvoted for clickbait title and terrible robo narration. Do yourselves a favour, and read "Easy Company Soldier" by Sgt. Don Malarkey with Bob Welch
Corporal Upham in the flesh !
Oregon Here... learn how to pronounce landmark places please.
Man, you guys can complain...
Shame on this page - title is misleading at best and total I know bait. Thumbs down. Shame on this channel.
You could at least learn how to pronounce the words correctly.
Terrible title. He had a long, fulfilling life. Nothing "sad" about dying at 97. Down vote 👎
Clickbait title
Some bad info
Some wrong photos
Several wrong pronunciations
Annoying narrator voice
Down-voted the video.
Donald Malarkey never landed on the beaches of Normandy. He parachuted behind the lines the morning of June 6, 1944. What a clown narrator.
