Sad News Fellas,

Dick Winters of Easy Company, 506PIR, 101st AB has passed away.



"When people asked him if he was a hero, he liked to answer the way his World War II buddy, Mike Ranney, did.

“No,” Ranney said. “But I served in a company of heroes.”

Band of Brothers is one of my all-time favorite TV mini-series. Insightful look at what it must have been like serving in Easy Company during WWII. I especially liked Donny Walberg in the Bastogne episode that Tom Hanks directed. The opening shot is excellent.
Superb television...

uhh did I just say that?

Band of Brothers, and the Pacific were both masterpieces in telling the story of these men, but i bet they didnt even scratch the surface on the brave feats these men achieved in the name of freedom.

I never knew the man, and yet owe him so much...him and all those that have served.

God Bless his family.

I loved 'Band of Brothers' and in the interviews he seemed like a great guy, shame this war had to happen after all.

I meet a number of the WW2 Veterans from 'Band of Brothers TV Show at the Omaha Normandy Memorial Service in 2004 great bunch of guys and was proud to shake their hands and to all who serve in USA Airborne .
Mr Hanks is a great fellow indeed and was the late historian Professor Steven Ambrose . Furthermore, spoke to a number of German WW2 Veterans of the Normandy Campaign war is hell on all sides.
Lest We forget and may they rest in peace,
