To commemorate Veterans Day five of us went to the theater in Annville PA last night. The theater had a special showing of a documentary about Major Dick Winters of "Band of Brothers" fame. Major Winters narrated the documentary, the subject of which was lessons in combat leadership using scenes from "Band of Brothers" as examples of the discussed lessons. Major Winters also commented on what the mini-series protrayed correctly and what they modified for dramatic effect. Before the presentation, we had a light dinner in the adjoining/connecting coffee shop. Very enjoyable evening with new and appreciated insite into the events portrayed in the mini-series.

Tonight we head to the Lititz, PA Civil War Round Table to hear Dick Simpson talk about the 15th Vermont on the road to Gettysburg.

There's a petition circulating around the internet somewhere full of signatures to Congress stating that Winters should win the Medal of Honor. I think he more than deserves it.
