re: Closing remarks of Band of Brothers

Not to diminish what Major Dick Winters and his brothers did in ANY way shape or form, but I'm sure older people in the late 1930s were saying the same things about the young whippersnappers that went on to become the "greatest generation." That generation has serious flaws just like any that came before it and all that will follow it. There are great men and women in that group that continued the magnificent tradition of our excellent nation.

But I truly believe there are still people of the same character in this country today.

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies—

The Heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King—

- Emily Dickenson
