I have been busy and not on the forum latley but I ran across this on line. Sorry if it has already been posted but the passing of another one of the greatest generation should be noted.

If I remember correctly, Major Winters died Jan. 2.  It was his wish to not have the news broadcast until after his funeral.  I too stumbled across this and was saddened at his passing.  There aren't too many men of his caliber left on the planet.
