Gents,

I am sad to say that the Patriot News in Harrisburg Pa has reported that Dick Winters from Easy Company 101ST Fame has passed away.

RIP warrior.

One last DZ for a man who was certainly part of our Greatest Generation. God speed, sir.

I don't believe I have ever felt more heartbroken from the loss of someone who I've never had the pleasure of actually meeting. Although there have been so many good men, some of much recognition and others of little, who shared fantastic traits like those of Major Dick Winters, this is the one who I studied the most and would try so hard to emulate his characteristics.

Rest in peace Major Winters. You will never be forgotten.

Great soldier, great leader, great man. RIP.

Rest in peace Major. Your philosophy on leadership continues to inspire soldiers.

Rest In Peace and God Bless You Sir, Thank You for your heroism in defense of America, despite never having had the pleasure of meeting you, your courage and candor has been a constant inspiration for me.

The epitome of a combat leader.
RIP Sir.

What a great example of an American. RIP ....

Rest in peace, Sir. Your story was inspirational and one that I will never forget. Although it has been said by those that served under him that they would follow Major Winters to hell, today I am confident many of them rendezvoused in heaven.

The GREATEST generation indeed.

Thank you for the example you were and continue to be.

Rest in peace Sir.

Rest in Peace Sir. I will be looking for you, Col Howard, Col Maroney and Others..... at that Rally Point, just off of the Final DZ!!

Thoughts and Prayers Out!!
