Major Dick Winters discussion.

[Copper]

While surfing I came across this website -

http://www.majordickwinters.com/

In it they are calling for Major Dick Winters (ret) to have his Distinguished Service Cross upgraded to a Congressional Medal of Honor. An online petition has been set up with over 16 thousand people signing it.

My question is in your opinion should he get it upgraded or has this whole affair been pushed through due to the exposure he has received following the Band of Brothers HBO series and book of the same name by Stephen Ambrose.

There is no doubt he is an exceptional man and comes through as a sterling example of a 'leader' - Im just interested on your views on this.

PS - I signed the petition. IMO anyone who went through what he and his men went through deserve it.
