That includes, I'm sad to say, our current military who have been fighting this Global War OF Terror now for nearly ten years with no end in sight. How true!, how true!

Thompson Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:36:27 +0000 #comment-651549 I say "dittos" to every reply made above. Watching the movie over and over again has endeared me to the men of the 506th. I was especially saddened in the recent loss of Major Dick Winters. I am sure he is enjoying seeing many of his past comrades in heaven...perhaps not all of them, but a good many of them. What those men of the 506 endured was incredible to say the least. My favorite line in the movie, spoken by Major Winters, was when another officer told then Capt. Winters that he and his men would be in a situation where they would be surrounded by the enemy...to which Capt. Winters replied, "We're paratroopers sir, we are suppose to be surrounded." God bless all the men dead and living who served in Easy Company, 506th. Your likes we seldom see any more in such quantities. I say "dittos" to every reply made above.

I was sad to hear of his passing. My father enlisted at 17 in WW2 and was a ballgunner on a B-24 Liberator. My Dad died in June 2008.

Winters and his men serves as an inspiration to many people. I envy Maj. Winters' men for having the oppurtunity to know the man and experience his heroism. As i learned about Maj. Winters death, I cannot help but feel deeply sorrow for the loss of an icon. I will and forever remember Maj. Winters famous words " I am not a hero in the war....but i served in the company of heroes" Maj. Winters and his men serves as an inspiration to many people. I envy Maj.
