The qualities of leadership and character "ping". Enjoy.

Lt Winters was an amazing man and his story is fascinating. "Band of Brothers" is a must read book and the HBO Mini-series is excellent.

IMHO, Damian Lewis was cast perfectly as Lt Winters.

LOL. Spiderboy Karateboy doesn't look happy in that picture. Cool light saber, cool cow costume, too.

[snippy_about_it]

LOL. Hi wannabe. It is true, Dick Winters is an remarkable man and Easy Company was lucky to have him lead them.

Band of Brothers was a great production. The reals events were even greater.

GOOD STUFF!
I had a couple of good leaders (Flight Chiefs) and some that....well weren't so good (tits on a boar is the phrase that comes to mind)
TSgt Pate great guy BUT there was always that point that you didn't cross. He was in charge and you forgot that at your peril. His favorite saying was "I can't make you do it...but I can make you wish you had."

I can think of a number of other things we could call you. :-)

When we had to put down an adorable 8 year old mix I had I thought I would never be able to get another, it was just too hard.

It's been about 5 years for me, too. He was such a wonderful dog. You can love another though if you have the will to offer yourself up to heartbreak provided the Lord wills that you out-live the dog. They provide so much love and only ask that you give them a home...and a treat now and then. ;-)


You know what 'they' say. It's better to have loved and lost...

Good morning EGC. ((Hugs))

What a surprise

I put it together last night on a whim. I was looking for something else and ran across this and thought it would be an important one to bring to the Foxhole.

Thanks for having a relapse...

Some things you just have to post!

[snippy_about_it]

Good morning feather. Sarge is quite the pup!

Ha! Thanks Mayor.

He is in great shape isn't he. I know he's got nearly 40 years on me and I have trouble remembering yesterday!

[snippy_about_it]

Winters has a couple co-authored books out I will have to put on my Christmas list.

[snippy_about_it]

I agree. I think it's time to watch the mini-series again!

[snippy_about_it]

Yep. The mini-series was a good show. It's good they did it honorably unlike most hollywood productions.
