History

Dick Winters, 1918-2011

Another hero of World War II is gone:

Dick Winters, a highly decorated World War II hero who became a household name when his heroics were chronicled in a Stephen Ambrose book that later became the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers," has died. He was 92.

If Band of Brothers was even 50 percent accurate, Winters had more balls and was more centered than just about all of us combined.
