WWII Hero, Maj. Richard Winters Dies at 92
Richard "Dick" Winters, the man who rose through the ranks in the United States military from battlefield commissions and who, along with his men of Easy Company was the inspiration for the true-to-life novel, "Band of Brothers," by historian and author, Stephen Ambrose; which later inspired the HBO award-winning mini-series of the same name has died at 92 years of age.
This man and all he served with and commanded were true heroes in every sense of the word. These men do not get the respect and admiration that they most certainly deserve, especially from the staff and brain-washed students of today that work and attend left-wing think-tanks.
Where would we be without men like him and their ultimate sacrifices?

And an interview from historynet.com on D-Day, leadership and his Band of Brothers.
After the war he was asked by a grandchild, "Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?" To which he replied, "No. But I served in a company of heroes." That was his humility. That was the man. That was Maj. Dick Winters.
May God rest his soul.
