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

Lest we forget their sacrifice.

And when he gets to heaven
to Saint Peter he will tell:
"One more Solider reporting, Sir!
I've done my time in Hell."

Rest in Peace.

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.

Damm! A fine man and an outstanding solider! R.I.P.

Alas, not many of the WW2 vets left.

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.

Nor you suppose to check out subsim at work

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!
