Review №1

This is a very impressive memorial to an extraordinary person and leader. Anyone who enjoyed Steven Ambroses Band of Brothers or the HBO mini-series of the same name, knows the story of Easy Company and its special leader- Major Richard Dick Winters. These outstanding soldiers distinguished themselves in Europe during World War II , entering combat on D-Day and fighting until the German surrender. This memorial is a fitting tribute to Major Winters. I enjoyed learning more about his life from the informational placards ringing the statue of his likeness. My only issue: one of the placards has been defaced, someone with zero respect has scratched it up- it should be fixed or replaced. Regardless, this memorial is definitely worth visiting if you are a veteran, a patriot, have an interest in US History, or simply enjoyed the book/mini-series. God bless Major Winters, the men of Easy Company, and the Greatest Generation. I also recommend driving about 5 minutes further, to see Major Winters resting place.

If you know your history then you know who this man was. If you have seen the mini-series Band Of Brothers or read the book then you know who this man was. If you have not then you should learn about his local hero. Great rail trail beside this memorial so come on out and learn something about this man.
