The personal note at the bottom of this page is from Major Richard D. Winters to Jake Powers. It reads: "To Jake Powers, You are a true "Brother" to all men of Company "E". Hang Tough, Dick Winters."
The smaller note at bottom left is the first copy of Band of Brothers that was signed by Dr. Stephen E. Ambrose to Jake upon the delivery of the first books to Ambrose's office. It reads: "With thanks for everything. SE Ambrose."
