A good soldier. Rest in peace.

RIP to another great American. A full life.

Rest in peace, soldier. Thanks for your stalwart service to your country. Freedom was bought with the blood of many. Your efforts helped to preserve it for us.

The man personified "hero" even if he didn't think so. What Major Winters and his buddies in Easy Co., the 101st, and all of the Allied forces did in WWII was nothing short of miraculous. We are forever in their debt. God Bless and KEep you and your buddies Major Winters. May we be worthy of it all.

R.I.P. and thank you sir.

A sad day. Rest well sir.

"Gory, gory what a helluva way to die… he aint gonna' jump no more!"

RIP to Major Winters who has now rejoined many a brother from WW II.

Rest in peace.

RIP, sir. God bless.

With a host of brave unknown soldiers
For your company, you will live forever
Here in our memory

God bless you Maj. Winters.

And thank you for your service.

Currahee, Major Winters. Currahee.

Yes, Currahee, Major … Rest in Peace & God Bless …

A very sad day, RIP Major Winters.

Very sad news I always love listening to him talk. Thank you a god bless.

Rest in Peace, Sir. And thank you and your generation.

God bless, sir, and thanks for your service and sacrifice.

Valhalla, never a more true Warrior approaches!

What a world if we could all aspire to be the kind of person Major Winters was. God Bless you Sir, and rest well with him.

He will greet me at the door"

Say hi to grandpa for me, Maj Winters, and thank you for your service.

A true champion. Rest in peasce.

RIP, Sir.

You won't be forgotten.

Lest we forget.

He heard the trumpet call to rally troops & he answered it. We'll miss him, but his legacy lives on.

Maj. Winters did not think he was a hero, he felt he served in a company of heroes.

In my book, he is, was, and always will be a HERO.

Rest easy with comrades, old soldier.

A true leader amongst men.
Lest we forget

A true hero and inspirational leader of men. RIP

Thanks, sir, RIP. And thank you not only for your service
but for taking care of those in your charge to the best
of your abilty.

A sad loss, such a great leader of men.

Simon

A great loss but thank goodness his story and that of his men was preserved for history. They truely were the greatest generation.

He's reunited with the rest of his buddies. He lived a full life.

RIP Sir.

Rest in Peace.

I so wanted to meet him as he lived nearby, but I didn't want to invade his privacy. I just wanted to thank him.
Hopefully he will know somehow.

RIP

I was just informed that he actually passed away Jan 2, but did not want the information released until after his burial as he did not want the publicity.

How true to form.

Sad to hear. He was one of a dying off group of heros. Few are left in around from WWII. May he rest in peace.

If the world had more men like him, we wouldn't need wars.

RIP

I'll see you at the final manifest call. St. Michael will be our jumpmaster.

The word hero gets bandied around quite a lot these days. Winters was the real deal.

Thank you, Major Winters. On to your reward.

Thank you, Major Winters, for your service in defense of human liberty. May we never forget your deeds or those of your band of brothers.

Respectfully,

Leland R. Erickson

Proud Son of a WW2 US Marine

What's going to happen to the movie Will he was working on?

Rest in peace, and I'm grateful that so much of what he did is recorded.

Andrew

Rest in peace!

RIP Mr. Winter. Thank you for your service and for your example.
Dennis

Very sad. rest in peace sir.

A modest man and true hero, not trumpeting his deeds, but those of his "brothers". May we all learn from his example.

Airborne! RIP.

Eric

I met him at a mall in Hersey several years ago. I recognized him and went up to him with my son. I said "Son, here is a true american hero." A real nice man and his wife was nice too.
We shared some war stories ( his were much better than mine)and he sent me some audio tapes and pictures.
RIP

Joe

Rest in Peace Sir.

I have a great DVD of him, a truly humble man. Sad that their Generation is passing, we still owe them a lot.

"Sad that their Generation is passing, we still owe them a lot."

I believe we will be owning that generation for a millennium or more. The years they lived through are as impressive as the last years of the Roman Empire.

I hope he is now able to visit with his friends that have gone before him. Rest in Peace!
