One of the main subjects for the HBO series Band of Brothers has died. Richard, Dick, Winters died January 2nd this year at the age of 92. If you have seen the series, you have seen a very natural leader. After the series, Winters even made his own internet site http://www.majordickwinters.com/ RIP Major Winters. You were a real hero. However, when asked about that sentiment, he said this when one of his grandchildren asked him, "Grandpa, were you a hero in WW II?" He said "No, but I served with a company of heroes."

For good info on Major Winters, visit the Wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Winters
