A farewell to Dick Winters

[YALE]

I had no idea he died, or that he was so close, or I might've gone by and paid my respects before he passed. RIP, Major Winters.

I just saw that he passed away myself.

"I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' Grandpa said 'No… but I served in a company of heroes.”

I always get a bit choked up when I hear that quote. Greatness.
