TyTass Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 What a legacy Dick Winters left behind! One of my biggest hopes is that the attributes he seemed to exude in all things - integrity, bravery, honor, & humility - will continue to be exhibited by other generations ... that they do not fade with the passing of his generation.

Rain Man Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Gone, but certainly not forgotten. Thank you, Major Winters. Link to comment
Rinkydink Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The sad thing is those 30 years and younger could care less. I have made a special effort for my kids to understand just what heroes like Dick Winters did for us. Thanks and RIP sir. Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Aside from the depictions and stories in the mini-series, the mere fact that his assault on the 88's is still taught at WP is beyond impressive. Go in peace. Link to comment
