One of my favorite real-life heroes of WWII (Based on his exploits from the book and HBO mini-series "Band of Brother") Richard Winters passed away recently on Jan. 2nd. Dick, as he was called by his close friends and comrades, represents the "Greatest Generation" whom are passing away as most approach their 80's. There was a statistic in the past decade that stated 1000 WWII veterans pass away every day. I'm sure that number is getting higher, too. As the numbers recede from each WWII reunion every year, we should acknowledge their accomplishments. Because some day soon, the LAST WWII veteran will pass away leaving only their stories as a testament to their great achievement in WWII.
