Cowboy Pilot 10 Posted January 10, 2011 Ladies and gentlemen. It is with great sorrow that I inform you that another Easy Company Soldier has passed away. This time though the individual is was not just a member, but the leader of the "Band of Brothers". Major (Retied) Richard "Dick" Winters has passed away. As the Promotional Manager on the "Battle at Brecourt Manor" documentary I give my regards to Major Winters and his beloved family. To the ArmA community and others, I will give more details as I receive them. I will be speaking with my friend Don Malarkey and our documentaries executive producer (and friend) Vance Day.
