Synopsis

Phil Mason, a timid kid, unprepared for combat, has been nicknamed by the rest of Easy Company as "Ice Cream Soldier" because they think he is most likely to melt in combat. But on the day he stands on a frostbitten foot on a frozen lake and takes down two tanks he proves that there is nothing hard about fighting on ice for an Ice Cream Soldier.
