It's only when a special request, via Colonel Robert Sink, from Camp Toccoa, Georgia, of the 506th Airborne Division, requests the presence of a war correspondent to document one of the newest additions to the military, the Airborne. Specifically, Easy Company of the 506th. Esther enlists the assistance of fellow combat photographer, Mercy Codona, and the two travel down to Camp Toccoa to begin documentation of Easy Company and the Airborne.
