A Man I Admired......

Winters, Somewhere in Europe, WWII

I just found out that Dick died earlier this year (January 21, 1918 – January 2, 2011).  He was just 19 days shy of his 93rd birthday.  He was the last survivor of "Easy" Company, the "Band of Brothers".
Please take a moment to honor his memory.
