There were not many like that made. RIP Major, you earned it.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

The band gets smaller still - the experiences of those who are left grow ever more valuable.

A true legend amongst many thousands of heroes, although as such a humble man, I suspect he would never have wanted anyone to think so.

RIP.

RIP Maj. Dick Winters, and thank you. My father served with the 101st in Bastogne and got a bit shot up. Not sure which company dad was in though.

A remarkable man! Even though I only knew him through movies, documentaries, and books, I always felt like I knew him on a bit more of a personal level.  :(
