I know this isn't Star Wars, but its because of guys like this that we live in a world where Star Wars can exist....

Today Major Richard Winters, Commander of The "Band of Brothers" passed away. Terrible News....
A True Hero to say the least...

It is sad to see he is gone.  I loved watching all of his interviews on the DVD and his book was great read without the Hollywood spin.
