This is my latest release, i found this custom background that i hadnt finished so i thought id finish it off and i think it has come out really well.
I really liked the film, thats why i started this custom background in the first place. For me the picture really captures a moment of thought for all these guys, thinking about weather they will find Ryan??, will they servive the war??. I did 2 versions of this background one with the Day Of Defeat Source on the menu and one with out, i thought ide do that to give you guys a choice, some of you guys like the day of defeat source and some dont, i think it works with or without, any way you have the choice.
I really enjoyed putting this background together for DODS, and for me works really nicely as a custom background. I hope you guys like it as much i did putting it together, enjoy my new custom background.
Here's a little about Captain Miller
?Rank: Captain
?Position: Company commander
?Unit: 2nd Ranger Battalion, Company C
Before joining the Army, John Miller had been employed at Thomas Alva Edison High School in Addley, Pennsylvania, were he had taught English composition since 1933. Miller was married and was also the coach of the local baseball team.
Volunteering for the Rangers, Miller served in Tunisia, Africa (Kasserine Pass) in 1942/43, where he first met Mike Horvath, an honest and dependable NCO. The two would serve together during Operation Torch, the Allied landings at Anzio, Italy in 1943. Transferring to the 2nd Ranger Battalion, Miller and Horvath next prepared for the assault on Hitler's vaunted Atlantic Wall defenses as part of Operation Overlord. Miller was somewhat of a mystery to his men, who were so intrigued by their commanding officer that they set up a betting pool to reward whomever could find out details about Miller's civilian life. Just before the Rangers embarked at Portsmouth, England, Miller's right hand began to shake uncontrollably.
On D-Day, June 6th, 1944 Miller led Company C of the 2nd Ranger Battalion onto Omaha Beach. Miller's men suffered high casualties during the attack, but the German defenses were too weak to hold off the flow of American soldiers and equipment. The Rangers conducted numerous operations for the next few days, and on June 9th Miller was given a special mission to retrieve a 101st Airborne paratrooper, Private James Ryan, whose three brothers had been recently killed in combat.
