A new bronze statue, made in the likeness of Maj. Dick
Winters, was recently unveiled in Normandy, France. Winter was one of the many soldiers that
trained at Camp Toccoa on Currahee Mountain, documented and made notable in the
book and movie “Band of Brothers”. Band of Brothers chronicled the struggle of
the paratroopers that dropped near Normandy on the mission to destroy four
German 105mm artillery guns that stood in the way of the Allied troops. For the complete story visit http://www.independentmail.com/news/2012/jun/06/band-brothers-honored-d-day-anniversary/
