Major Richard 'Dick' Winters, WWII Airborne Icon
Dick was buried on the 8th of January 2011, in a modest and private ceremony, at his family's request.
of this WWII Icon. Major Dick Winters gave face to the WWII Paratrooper Soldier, the 'Angels of the Sky'.
It was never his choice to become an Icon, neither did he seek world fame. It just happened: he was the man
who watched over his Band of Brothers, from World War II until the D-Day Ceremony at Utah Beach 2001.
Just beyond the former dropzones of June 6th 1944, he stood tall, with almost 50 of his brothers. A leader by
example, a silent but outspoken man. A man who felt he needed to correct the mistakes that were published
in the Band of Brothers book and the HBO TV series, by publishing his own autobiography, a few years ago.
May your Final Jump give you everlasting peace
