June 6, 1944, Normandy, France... Amidst the roar of D-Day, the "Band of Brothers" paratroopers of Easy Company, 506th P.I.R., 101st Airborne Division, capture the first of four German cannons within the hedgerows of Brécourt Manor. Led by Lt. Dick Winters, the 12 men of Easy Company, with a handful of reinforcements, would rout the German gun crews and 50 enemy paratroopers. For his actions, Lt. Winters would be recommended for the Medal of Honor "Silencing the Guns" is signed by the last living veterans who had fought as members of Easy Company at Brecourt. The signers are: Lt. Col. (ret.) Buck Compton, Sgt (ret.) Bill Guarnere, Sgt. (ret.) Don Malarkey, and Maj (ret.) Dick Winters. Silencing the Guns is an ultra-realistic painting and fine art print. In 2004, James Dietz, the artist, traveled to the Brecourt Manor farm in Normandy, France, to study the battlefield. His resulting artwork captures the hedgerow's cool, dark shade, set against the warm, summer sun that rose on the morning of D-Day, 60 years ago. Set amongst a juxtaposition of light and shadow, Dietz painted the paratroopers of Easy Company as they would actually looked, with their faces blackened as camouflage. Dietz based the paratroopers' likenesses on vintage photos, showing the men as they really looked in 1944. Completing Dietz's research, the staff of Valor Studios/Ghost Wings gatd historical details from the last living veterans who had fought as members of Easy Company at Brecourt. Lt. Col. (ret.) Buck Compton, Sgt (ret.) Bill Guarnere, Sgt. (ret.) Don Malarkey, and Maj (ret.) Dick Winters each contributed their personal memories of the mission to silence the guns. Major (ret.) Dick Winters, in particular, critiqued each of the painting's concept sketches ensuring Silencing the Guns' ultra-realism and historical faithfulness.
