[Rane1071]

R.I.P Very sad. Greatest respect for a true hero.

 

[jdb67]

The ranks are thinning... R.I.P.

 

[1ManRevolution]

R.I.P Major.

The sad thing is that if it was not for "Band of Brothers" we would not have know about him and what he did.

Also, I believe that there is a website that is set up to try and get Maj. Winters the CMH.

may he rip. He was a hero.

I haven't seen the new one..."The Pacific". Might be a tie.

The Pacific is very good, but Band Of Brothers is far better. :2 cents:

 

[ballzano]

One of the greatest from The Greatest Generation gone. Rest in Peace and Currahee!

I could not have said it better... Rest in peace Mr. Winters.

[Galactic]

A deep, heartfelt, thank you and farewell. Rest easy soldier.

Statue of 'Band of Brothers' Hero Richard Winters Unveiled

Along the Normandy coast in Saint-Marie du Mont France, people gathered to unveil a statue to Maj. Dick Winters and to all junior officers who led American men on D-Day, 68 years ago.

Winters improvised an attack on a fixed position that's still taught at West Point. Easy Company destroyed all four guns. He personally seized military maps revealing the German army's positions all along the Normandy coast.

Winters was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Army's second highest medal for valor. He retired to his hometown of Lancaster, Penn., and died last year at 92.
