Major General Salve H. Matheson, the Easy Company Vet with the longest post WWII military career
Salve H. Matheson served from 1942-1975. As far as I know he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the US Army in 1942 and was then sent to Easy Company as an officer, before being moved to HQ for the 2nd Battalion and serving through the entire war from D-Day to the capture of Eagle's Nest.
He was a well respected officer during WWII and only continued to rise up in ranks, becoming commander for the 101st Airborne's 1st Brigade Combat Team during Vietnam as a Brigadier General before retiring as a Major General in 1975 after serving in three wars. I believe this makes him the Easy Company with the longest post WWII military career too (Bob Brewer served until 1973 but a lot of it was in the CIA while Matheson was purely within the army).
Dick Winters spoke very highly of Matheson too, saying that "No veteran who served in Easy Company had a more distinguished military career."
I'm not sure if Matheson made a cameo in the miniseries (could be wrong) but I wondering if he was considered at least knowing his career.
