Major Winters - 506th PIR 101st Airborne - Easy Company
« on: January 10, 2011, 09:07:03 AM »
I did not know this until today, but I could not resist to show my sincere appreciation for such a man.
A hero proved in liberating strife.
Currahee!

That man is probably the best example of how an officer should be... take charge straight out in front attitude. Always willing to lead men into battle and never willing to accept defeat or an excuse to abuse his power. Humble yet firm.

Met him, along with a few others at various events when I was in the 506th. I was awe struck when meeting them more than I have ever been with some stupid celebrity or athlete who has never done anything.

He donated the proceeds from his book, as well as events he would speak at, to various charities, kept nothing for himself. Life long commitment to others.

The leader of the famous Band of Brothers through most of the Eastern Front. Let this man live forever in the hearts and minds of every American citizen. He is a true American hero.
