Major Richard Winters Passes

[Cagemonkey]

So unfortunate. Ever day pieces of living and talking history like Mr. Winters pass away. WWII veterans are getting rarer. I will be a sad day for this nation when the last WWII veteran passes away. I feel their experiences will never be repeated again in our lifetimes. They're the last ones to fight "the good war". After them theirs nothing but controversy and compromise.

This is very sad. Our country and our people cannot thank you enough Major Winters.

A hero who served in the company of heroes.

This brings a tear to my eye every time.

Truly a hero.

God bless his family.

I have never met him only read his words and watched BOB and learned more about him after watching and have to say it really moves me something about how humble he was yet such a leader

I so wish my kids could have met him as I would have liked to

RIP truly America has lost a icon of a man

I can not watch that video without tearing up a little. Maybe that makes me soft but I don't care.


The entire world is diminished by his passing.

Someone else said it best, there are two few of his kind left.

RIP Major Winters. Fair winds and full canopies.
You were a humble, quiet hero.

RIP Major Winters.

Our country could use a few million more like you.

That man is one of the few people that others should look up to and hope to be just 1/10th as good. RIP, you are missed.
