Don't know how many of you guys have seen Band of Brothers or know of Major Richard Winters but he died January 2 aged 92

I don't really believe in the idea of a 'hero', but if there was a person that deserved such praise, it was Maj. Winters. What he did for the 101st Airborne throughout D-Day, Bastogne, and Berchtesgarden, was instrumental in the Allies' victory over Hitler's Nazi forces. He shunned the praise that was heaped on him post Band of Brothers (book/miniseries) and that was just indicative of the man's humility. May he rest in peace with the Band of Brothers he served with that didn't make it or became memories in time itself.
