Watching Band of Brothers, all day today,
in memory of Major Richard Winters (Jan. 21, 1918 - Jan. 02, 2011).

“I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day, when he said, ‘grandpa, were you a hero in the war?’ I said, ‘No … but I served in a company of heroes.’”

It’s the story of the extraordinary bravery of the men of Easy Company; If you’ve never seen this show, watch it. You won’t regret it. ♥
