With passing of Veterans Day.....and the passing of the last living Member of Easy Company of "Band of Brothers" fame.....I would suggest that Dick Winters easily meets the standards required to be an inspirational leader.
I first read the book when it first came out, very much enjoyed the Series and have an autographed copy of the book signed by Buck Compton.
What was unique about Easy Company is they wound up at Hitler and Goring's mountain retreats. having fought their way from Normandy via Bastogne, Holland, and across Germany to wind up drinking Goring's Wine Cellar dry.
Winters was the glue that held them together and led by example to include a infantry actions that are still taught to US Military Academy Cadets today.
A short article about the "end" of Easy Company.....the Soldiers are gone but. their reputation and accomplishments live on.
