Major Richard Winters Passes

God bless that man. America owes him and all men like him a great debt.

Smooth road and fair weather, Major Winters. You shall be missed.

RIP, and God Bless Major Winters.

RIP Maj Richard Winters.

So few WWII veterans are left.

Something about that generation is very special, and truly American.

We will be worse off without them.

RIP, we just lost a great hero.

R.I.P. Curahee!!!

Good night Sir. RIP.

So few of them would say much. My Dad and my two Uncles were all decorated D-Day combat veterans. Everything my Dad ever said about the war wouldn't fill 2 pages. I know more from some of his buddies than he would ever say. Heck, I didn't know one of my Uncles got the Silver Star until 5 years ago.

Thank God for Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, for increasing awareness in the younger generations of just what heroes like Maj. Winters and his men accomplished.

They really did save the world.

RIP, Sir.

A hero who served in the company of heroes.
