Tiny Tim joins up with Easy Company with a heavy heart. Everyone but him in his last squad had died and he was convinced that he was a jinx. When two airplanes strafe Easy Company he draws them to him by running out in the open while Easy Company shoots them down. Tiny Tim lives when only his helmet is shot.; When Sgt. Mal Walker's commander is killed he takes his boots to wear. Soon after Sgt. Walker is picked to lead his company. He says the shoes (both literal and figurative) are too big for him to fill, but he finds with time that they fit him just fine. He is promoted to Lieutenant and says that he is just trying to fill the boots of a good man.
