If anyone deserves the Medal of Honor its Major Dick Winters. They should present to him before he joins the ranks of our other departed veterans.

Lt/Maj Winters WAS awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (our nation's second highest honor) for his role in leading the assault.

I'm sure Dick Winters believes the DSC was appropriate at the time and having it upgraded to MoH now is just misplaced sentimentality.
