Major Richard "Dick" Winters page found

At the web page http://www.reference.com/search?q=Dick%20Winters - there is section in there that states: "During the campaign in Holland, Captain Winters led a successful attack with 20 members of Easy Company against a force of 200 German soldiers." - This just paints a picture of just how god damn good Winters was. And if I was a General or the person in charge of handing out the Congressional Medal of Honor, I would be honored and privileged to give it to him. For the Brecourt Manor action on D-Day and the attack along the Dike in Holland, definitely deserves the Medal of Honor, in my opinion, and the same in the opinions of millions of others. Major Winters, if you ever see this site; I wonder if you realize just how many people love, admire and respect you and the men you lead. I'm sure that you do, but I wonder if your aware of the magnitude of it all.

When was the last time a Company Commander lead an attack against 200 enemy soldiers with only 20 men, and only losing 1 man during the attack, and the attack being a success?
