Chickahominy Charlie Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 RIP MAJ Dick Winters. You were the right guy, in right place, at the right time.....and your leadership inspired your soldiers to do extraordinary things....and your leadership brought many home who may have otherwise perished. I was studying Dick Winter's leadership and tactics nearly 10 years before Stephen Ambrose wrote the book and two decades before the mini-series. A gutsy, wiley field commander with devotion to his soldiers. My prayers to his family and to the members of Easy Company who are still among us.....the "company of heroes."
Guest Hoss Carpenter, SASS Life 7843 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 What a fine Gentleman and great American Hero (who is M. Vick, Eiemem {SP} etc,etc anyway?) Being a Military retiree and the son of a WW2 Vet, I loved this series. When his troops say, they would follow him to Hell, you know you are talking about a true leader. America needs more of his kind today, especially in Congress or as a National leader. God Bless the Major and his brave men, all who were Heros to me! Hoss

Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 They don't make em like that anymore. Not sure I would disagee, but the young staff sergeant Obama just hung the MOH around the neck of certainly comes pretty darn close.
