I will tell my husband. He has watched Band of Brothers about 10 times and has read Dick Winters' book. It's so sad to lose these WWII vets.

His is back in the company of the heros he served with.

He is a man that kids should look to as a role model.

As was typical for Major Winters, he did not want any kind of big deal made about his passing and requested that news of his passing not be sent out until a week after he passed.

He was a shining example of what made his generation "The Greatest Generation."

Rest in Peace, sir. You've earned it.

Absolutely.

Anyone who has never seen Band of Brothers needs to remedy that ASAP. Should be required viewing at least once for all American citizens, IMHO.
