So you wanna know more, eh?
We're here because of Wild Bill Guarnere. In fact, this site is Guarnere owned and operated So what does it all mean? Why are we here? Why are you here? What else can we do for you? Rest easy, weary traveler. Read on and you'll be right-as-rain.
So what is this place?
About our humble Cyberhome
Wild Bill Guarnere.com is a digital tribute to William J. Guarnere, a member of the 101st Airborne, 506th P.I.R. Easy Company, United States Army. Known by his war comrades as "Wild Bill," the site aims to chronicle his life, as well as document his heroism. He and his comrades received international attention when Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg released their 10 part mini series for HBO, A Band of Brothers.
This site was built lovingly by Bill's grandson, Gino, who happens to work in the very field of Information Technology and Web development. WBG.com has gone through several iterations, and this latest version represents the most concise website to date. Wildbill Guarnere.com receives hundreds of thousands of page views a month, and has grown into one of the largest repositories of data regarding World War 2.
The main areas of this website, including this one, were built using Web Standards and the code validates (more or less). If you don't know what that means, that's ok. We're just bragging anyway. Regarding the other areas of the site that were created by people other than myself, well, they're a table-driven mess.
If you're a real gearhead and want to read more about what I used to craft this site, well then take a gander at our Colophon and we'll really get the drool going from the side of your mouth.
Our official site launch was March 31, 2002. Since that time, Bill has added 5 new great grandchildren to the already-impressive stable of 15, bringing his total number of grandkids to a whopping 20.
Thanks for visiting Wild Bill's home on internet.
Gino Guarnere and the rest of the Guarnere clan
