The passing of another true hero from the Greatest Generation. Maj Winters was the Company Commander, Easy Company, 101st Airborne, the "Band of Brothers" made famous by the book and mini-series.

>> "If you can, find that peace within yourself, that peace and quiet and confidence that you can pass on to others, so that they know that you are honest and you are fair and will help them, no matter what, when the chips are down." - Major Richard "Dick" Winters

When people asked whether he was a hero, he echoed the words of his World War II buddy, Mike Ranney: "No, but I served in a company of heroes."

"He was a good man, a very good man," Guarnere said. "I would follow him to hell and back. So would the men from E Company." <<
