Major Dick Winters was a true hero and a symbol of the courage and integrity of the Greatest Generation. In this episode, Jenn and Scott dive into his remarkable life and legacy, reflecting on his leadership during World War II and how he personified the spirit of his time. We chat about how he led his men with honor during D-Day and the battles that followed, all while staying humble and focused on his team. It’s a serious discussion, but we also sprinkle in some light-hearted banter about our own military experiences and how they relate to Winters' story. So grab your headphones and get ready to walk through history with us as we celebrate a man who really was a "company of heroes."
