May you now find that quiet peace that you wrote of.
Rest in Peace Major Winters.

I was hoping to meet him at the BoB reunion a few years ago, but they said he had parkinson's (?) really bad and didn't get out much any more.

Sad. We're losing more of these quiet, unassuming men that saved the world every day, soon there will be none left.

RIP Major Winters, you and your example will not be forgotten. :salute:

Nor you suppose to check out subsim at work :O:

If the miniseries are of any indication of the man he certainly will win my utmost respect.

It's been a long and beautiful journey, RIP Sir!
