Thank you Major Winters for my freedom. I'm from Eindhoven, the city you helped to set free! I will never get to write to you how thankfull I am for that...
Rest in Peace Major Winters, Your work here is done. You have been one of the biggest inspirations in my life both as a man and as a future soldier. For that I thank you. Currahee.
The one man who probably deserved the Medal Of Honor, simply for his leadership above and beyond! And one who probably would have been our greatest general had he so chosen to make the military his career.
This man is a true hero. I regret that I will never shake his hand and tell him so. Rest in Peace sir, you are a true inspiration to all men. All the free world owe a debt to you that can never be repaid
Dick Winters is a true American hero, along with all the men he served with. Americans owe a debt of gratitude for everyone who served in the war, when you see someone who is still living thank them for there service. Rest in peace, see you in heaven.
@Tyler Riggs that's cause celebrities don't really matter much outside of their fame and screentime, while Heroes like Dick here are few and far between in the world and have done something that benefitted all of us.
Thanks from my side as well,I once had the honour to talk to a lot of Canadian WWII veterans during memorial day in may 1995 in Nijverdal (the Netherlands). On of the best days of my life. Thank you, all veterans!
Just found out that Richard Winters is buried in the same cemetery as my grandfather in Ephrata Pennsylvania. I went and looked at his grave today and saw he is buried 30 feet away from my grandfather.
I've met a few WW2 veterans who were part of the Asia Pacific campaign and they all decided to live in rural places and remained in solace for the rest of their lives.
We owe these guys so so much and to hear their words today while we still can is most fortunate. We owe so much of what we have today because of them and the others in the past, then, WW1 and before. Their experience illustrates our century in close memory. I was born in Jan 45 so this war was always important to me, echoes for me as it was in the recent history in films, books, news, etc. My parents lived through the great depression which weighed heavily upon them and me, My father was born in 1907 so was somewhat old at the time for WW2 but he tried to enlist but had a heart murmur, so he worked in the Long Beach shipyard during the war where I was born. i served in the Navy during Vietnam. These were tough nuggets to crack, not ordinary guys, believe me having endured boot camp myself(very minor comparatively ). They needed to be tough and proved themselves accordingly. They needed not only to believe they were better, but the best to endure what lay ahead. In the Battle of Bastogne, the Germans feared to attack them, the Eagle Heads as they were called. That speaks volumes, LOUDLY! We always need people like this in our front lines, ready to stand up to those that challenge our freedom. Listen America as if you never listened before as this is a call, a challenge to the best, the strongest, the bravest amongst us. Stand up and be counted.
With everything going on today in the USA with cowards and liars aplenty at the top of the tree, Major Winters is an example of how to live a life of honor.
Does anyone know where his belongings after he passed? Obviously to whatever kids he may have had? But I’m curious if a lot of if got donated to a museum or if his family puts it on display? Would absolutely love to see it
a lot of units nowadays use either transport helicopters or lightweight assault aircraft not just the 101st and 82nd and the airborne also use chute planes but usually have not only airborne but also commandos, supplies, and often 1 or 2 LAV's

I understand Major Winters had a deep belief in God and prayed throughout his trials in WW2 for protection.

Acutally the 101st has about 400 jump positions left. Served in both 82nd and the 101st as a paratrooper and both units are amazing.

RIP, True American Hero
My right ear feels lonely..
101st Airborne is an Air assault unit now, they no longer jump out of airplanes.
RIP major winters
a lot of units nowadays use either transport helicopters or lightweight assault aircraft not just the 101st and 82nd and the airborne also use chute planes but usually have not only airborne but also commandos, supplies, and often 1 or 2 LAV's
82nd is the only airborne division that does static line parajump
