Just finished watching "Band of Brothers" last night, for the umpteenth time. Best made-for-TV miniseries EVER! Maybe it hits home so much for me because I share the same last name as the main character, "Winters". These men are dying out fast. I noticed Buck Compton passed away a couple of months ago. I nearly cry like a baby during the final show interviews: Winters quoted a passage from a letter he received from Sergeant Mike Ranney, "I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' Grandpa said 'No… but I served in a company of heroes.'"

Weird. On my computer everyone's posts show up as "today" (the 7th).
