Dick Winters introduced President George W. Bush to a crowd of about 20,000 during a rally in 2004 at Hersheypark Stadium in Derry Township.
A wonderful photograph from an article about WWII hero Major Dick Winters (memorialized in Band of Brothers) who died at the age of 92 yesterday.
He obviously knew who to support in 2004!
Two heroes in one photo — Thanks!
[You haven’t posted for awhile — I hope you had a great Christmas! We really must schedule a lunch so that we can ‘catch up’. Of course, given the nasty weather thus far this winter, we may have to wait until March.]
Lovely picture, Ohio. There is a thread on FR about Maj. Winter’s passing with some very interesting links.
He was an American Hero, though he felt that distinction undeserved. He was considered a great leader by his men, and I’m proud that he thought well enough of our President Bush to introduce him at this event.
Ohio, thank you for the picture of Maj.Dick Winters with President Bush. Rest in peace, Maj. Winters and thank you for your service to our great country.
