The WWII generation is near extinct at this time. One can wonder what it would be like if one was born in a different generation. Its history now, but it sure did produce a good amount of respectable humans. Major Winters grave site did not stand out, a sign of how humble he was. Despite all the fame from a TV series there was clearly much more to life.
New for the year of 2015 is a memorial, built by the town of Ephrata.
Research reveals that the Winter's family strongly objected against the memorial as Dick would not have wanted it. Some body needed to claim the fame so the town stepped in despite the Winters' refusal to cooperate. It is a nice memorial, but so what? A good man has passed and while he was living he consciously objected against such things. Goes to show where society's priorities are.
A plaque next to the memorial highlighted Dick's leadership principles. I truly believe if these were adhered to in all forms of leadership roles this planet would be a lot better off. One can dream.
