We visited some friends in Lancaster, PA today. On the way in I made a detour to pay my respects to Dick Winters.

Incidentally, another Easy Co. trooper passed away yesterday. Ed Mauser. He was not prominently featured in the HBO mini-series but an E Co. trooper nonetheless. I'm glad to have had the honor of shaking his hand and thanking him at last year's Reading Air Show. He signed my Band of Brothers DVD set.

Currahee all... currahee.
