Major Richard Winters

[Rudy]

If anyone has watched the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers", you will recognize Winters as the leader of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Major Winters passed away on Janurary 2, at the age of 92.

It is sad to see the members or this country's greatest generation leaving us.

Sad to hear.

I just finished watching the mini-series on Christmas day.

God bless him and keep him.

That miniseriews was some of the best war movie/tv ever made. All of the actors, even David Schwimmer did an outstanding job. As for Major Winters, he has one of the best quotes of all time:

"I cherish a question asked by my grandson. He asked me, 'Grandpa, were you a hero during the war?' Grandpa says, 'No, but I served in a company of heroes.'"

You served your time Major. R.I.P.

Currahee!!

Edit: Really? A negative point?
