I doubt this would be making the news circuit given what has happened in Arizona, but it appears Maj. Richard Winters passed away.
If this a dupe, I do apologize, but a man like this shouldn't be shuttered away to the back pages.
RIP good sir.

Peace be with you Major Winters.

Rest In Peace humble hero. What a great man.

When speaking to a group of West Point cadets in modern years Winters said, "The greatest reward you can have as a leader is the look of respect. The key to a successful combat leader is to earn respect not because of your rank but because you are a man"
