Medal of Honor for Maj. Winters - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I don't know how many on here have ever watched HBO's Band of Brothers, but if you haven't shame on you! You need to go out and rent or buy it today. For those who have seen the true story then Major Winters is a familiar name. He lead Easy Company through the D-Day campaign. There is an effort to get this amazing man the MoH before its too late and I believe he deserves it. If you agree then please sign the petition. I didn't just sign it for him (though he more then deserves it) but for all the veterans of our greatest generation who we owe so much to, including Private 1st Class Linwood Huffstetler (my late grandfather and hero). We are losing more and more of these greatest Americans and if you know a vet of any war but especially a WWII vet thank him (or her) personally and by helping Maj. Winters get his MoH.

I was proud to sign the petition. My Father-in-Law is a WWII vet and I will thank him for his service this weekend.

I also copied your post on another forum (Airstream Trailer & Motorhome Community).

Thanks for the thread!

Keeping this on your minds. It only takes a second to do!

a little health care would be ok for DAV also! Those kids coming back from Sandland are being given the same treatment as others and they do not need the BS the VA is giving them. This is a huge problem also and all anyone will say is NO $$$$$$ ? about as sad as the Officer not getting his MOH! Say a Holiday Prayer for those kids!!

Just signed it. I was # 24,865. I enjoyed the story of Winters in B.O.B. Too bad someone like him has to wait so long for this honor.

The MOH is usually awarded for singular individual acts of heroism, not prolonged acts like those that define Maj. Winter's career, but if that run in Remagen where he single-handedly took on an SS battalion with nothing but his Garand wasn't enough to justify one I would be very disappointed.
