Richard "Dick" Winters, RIP
The WWII officer who was portrayed in the HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers" passed on 1/2/11 at the age of 92. I just learned of this from an article in today's paper.

Yes, Sorry to read that too. The Movie made him famous, but he was a Hero for a far longer period of time, imo.
RIP Sir. Tom Vaught

That is a guy who deserved to live to 92. A great American hero, and leader.

He served in the 101st Airbourne. Half of the firebases in Viet Nam where the 101st were deployed were named after them. My favorite was Firebase Bastogne on the road to the A Shau Valley near Hamburger Hill.
The Band of Brothers set the bar high for any unit after their exploits in Europe. RIP brother.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
