RICHARD WINTERS R.I.P.

Richard Winters, Major, 101st Airborne Division, 506 PIR (Parachute Infantry Regiment), E-Company.

The Band of Brothers

The news arrived a couple of days ago from a friend.

As one of the many websites dedicated to the Men of Easy puts it, when one of The Company dies,

May he rest in peace.
The eagle will always scream for our brothers !

The obituary columns of the media are now carrying the story.

I thank my informant for the heads up.

I have viewed the film a number of times. And the book is referred to often.

If you have not viewed or read, they are worth your while.

Stephen Ambrose, Band of Brothers, book and HBO miniseries.

Do yourself a favor.
Check them both out.
