Check out the following post over at BlackFive.net:

You might recall Major Dick Winters of Easy Company (2nd Battalion, 506th PIR) and "Band of Brothers" fame.

Today is his 90th birthday and BlackFive points out an effort to get Major Winters' Distinguished Service Cross upgraded to a Medal of Honor. Check out the post above for all the details (including a YouTube video except from Band of Brothers showing the fight at Brecourt Manor) and then make your way over to:

to check out the petition if you're so inclined.
