I suppose many of you have watched the series or, as in my case, read the book.

 

RIP.... Frown

RIP Dick Winters. He and the men of Easy Company are the reason we all know each other.

RIP Major Winters - one of the 20th Century's true heroes.  Band of Brothers introduced us to the man and what he and his company achieved.  I admire him and shall not forget him.

i am deeply upset at this news

 

this man along with many thousand others are true heroes

 

real men and women.

 

one of my main hobbies is all aspects of world war two. i know a great deal about this man and many others. if i could achieve just a small part of what these people done i would be a happy man.

perhaps what you americans and canadians dont realise is how much of an impact your soldiers made over here in the u.k in preperation for d day. there way of life and how they lived and there generosity.

without your help and the help of other nations around the world i would in all probably be speaking and typing this to you in german right now.

we came very close to be destroyed as a country

 

on another note

my father was in the royal navy and learnt to be the coxswain of a landing craft assault boat which took soldiers onto the beach.

he was in the first wave of boats that hit the beaches in sicily italy and he was again in the first wave that hit sword beach on d day

i am very proud of him and every other person that took part this epic battle of freedom

 

rest in peace

A truly remakable man who perceived his life as unremarkable....

They do not make people like that these days....

I was saddened to read this....
