Lt. Ronald Speirs of Easy Company, 506th PIR, was the officer the rank and file argued about — decisively brave under fire by universal agreement, and the source of the company's most contested rumors, including the Normandy POW story disputed in every account of its war. He jumped on D-Day, fought through Holland, and held the line at Bastogne. His defining moment came at Foy, Belgium, in January 1945: with Easy pinned down, he took command on the spot, attacked across open ground — and kept running, straight through the village and the German lines beyond it to reach I Company, then ran back. He soldiered on to Korea and later served as the American governor of Spandau Prison in Berlin.
The sculpt catches him in that run — Thompson submachine gun forward, jump uniform and netted helmet, mid-stride across a groundwork base — the image that became visual shorthand for Speirs in Band of Brothers. He pairs with the other Easy Company figures for a Band of Brothers diorama: his commander Capt. Dick Winters and marksman SSG Darrell "Shifty" Powers, set against the Ardennes with Welcome to Bastogne.
