First Lieutenant Clifford Carwood Lipton (30 January 1920 – 16 December 2001)[1] was a commissioned officer with Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, during World War II.
On the battlefields of Europe, he was promoted to company first sergeant and was awarded a battlefield commission to second lieutenant. He has said "it was the greatest honor ever awarded" to him. He eventually earned a promotion to first lieutenant before leaving the army.
He was featured in the 2010 book A Company of Heroes: Personal Memories about the Real Band of Brothers and the Legacy They Left Us,[2] and portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers.
