    Band of Brothers: Dick Winters passed away

    He's the main character in Bands of Brothers. Very good Mini-series done by HBO. Very sad to hear this

    Just read this. Sad. Great man.

    I met Carwood Lipton (Donnie Wahlberg's character) once playing golf in Pinehurst. It was right after Band of Brothers came out. Real nice dude. Unforgettable face. Heard he died shortly thereafter.

    Hope we can learn more from the men like this before they all pass on. Once the greatest generation is gone, I fear it won't be long before we forget what true bravery is all about.

    The guy was a true American hero, but he would never allow anyone to say it.

    All Winters would ever say is "I served with many heroes".

    Great man.

    Great film about an even greater man and bunch of men. Thank goodness we had Dick Winters on our side.
