Major Richard Winters died the day my girlfriend and I started going out. I have decided not only to celebrate our relationship on January 2nd, but also to celebrate the life of this wonderful man.
All os us didn't just loose a hero, we also gained a respect for him through his actions and life.
How many heroes of WW2 we don't know anything about is a number i don't really want to think about, but through his and his company's story we know what many people went through in those times.
Rest in peace with your fellow brothers who didn't return, or returned and lived their life to the fullest like you and now moved on.
I understand our heroes will not live for ever. But it hurts to learn he's gone. It was not until I lost my Grandfather that I learned he had been a hero. He never spoke of how he had gotten the Silver Star and Purple Heart which I now display with my metals. I was the 18th member of my family to have served in war since the Revolution.
Was saddened to hear that this great man was summoned for his final roll call. It was men like him that won the war for one simple reason. They entered the fray bearing some of the most powerful weapons known to man, Courage, Honour, Compassion, & Humility. To maintain these weapons in an environment where it is so much easier to pick up, Cruelty, Atrocity, Persecution & Indifference is a testament to a character that can never be defeated.
Funny thing My name is winters.

@snowflakeFactory I am sorry to say, but if you listen to him he says his company was of heroes. Therefore he probably wouldn't accept it.
