Dick Winters, the former World War II commander whose war story was told in the book and miniseries “Band of Brothers,” has died.

Dick Winters led a quiet life on his Fredericksburg farm and in his Hershey home until the book and miniseries “Band of Brothers” threw him into the international spotlight.


When people asked him if he was a hero, he liked to answer the way his World War II buddy, Mike Ranney, did.

“No,” Ranney said. “But I served in a company of heroes.”

Rest in Peace
 
So sorry to hear this. Anyone interested in seeing a very accurate version of WW2 thru the eyes of real participants needs to take the time and watch this mini series. I will be watching it again soon. Thank you Mr. Winters.
 
The way this man lead his men is the way all leaders should do it. It would have been an honor to have served under him or even be in his presence for a few moments. May he rest in peace and his story never forgotten.
