🚨 30 Heroes in 30 Days — countdown spirit to July 4!
Major Richard “Dick” Winters
Leader of Easy Company, 101st Airborne. On D-Day he led a daring assault on a German artillery battery at Brecourt Manor with just 13 men — the Germans had over 60. It’s still studied at West Point today.
Through the frozen hell of Bastogne and into Germany, he led with quiet competence and unbreakable resolve. Never sought glory, just did his duty, and is perhaps the embodiment of the “Quiet Heroes” who are the backbone of America. He came to fame after Stephen Ambrose “Band of Brothers” was released and then turned into a critically acclaimed miniseries.
He later was asked if he was a hero and he replied: “No. But I served in a company of heroes.”
True American leadership and quiet determination. 🇺🇸

By expanding nuclear energy and LNG exports, President Trump will likely go down in history as the world leader who was MOST effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 🌍
