Sgt. Frederick Niland (1920-1983) was a real life soldier who was returned from Europe following the deaths of two of his brothers in action during the D-Day invasion. A third brother was thought to have been killed in Burma, but turned up as a POW.
Sgt. Niland, a paratrooper, was not in combat at the time and was simply located and then reassigned to stateside duty as an MP for the rest of the war.

(This is the same company featured in the book and mini series Band of Brothers)Private Ryan (in the film) is from Iowa.Private Niland was from Tonawanda, New York.
