PiggDogg Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Very sad to hear this news. God bless Lipton, & condolences to his family. He is simply leading the way to where we all shall follow. With Sadness, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Norton Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Absent companions. Their numbers grow smaller everyday. God bless you my heros, I owe you so much. When we point them out, they glow with pride, yet they say, we were only doing our duty. Do not wait to tell them, Thank You. Tomorrow will be too late.

DTGamer Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 It's always sad to hear of the passing of any WWII vet. They did more for us than we will ever realize. I'm so glad series like Band of Brothers come along periodically to make us remember just how much they did to keep the world free. Salute!

BsChoy Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I never met the man but after reading so much and watching band of brothers (after reading the book of course), I have truly heart felt sorrow for the friends and family of 1ST Sgt. Carwood Lipton. He was a true hero and I have already made it my duty to educate my son (due May 9) about WWII and all the men and women like Sgt Lipton. They should never be forgotten! And may God help anyone I ever catch disparaging that generation and what they did for the world...Does anyone know if any of the "Brothers" live in NY?? or at least in a nearby state?? Rest In Peace Sarge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Sakai Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Band of Brothers the tv series sucked. IT was more like Rambo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawl back under your bridge and stay there. Better yet, get the Hell off the forum and don't bother coming back. You won't be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Thank you C. Lipton. My family owes you and your commrades for the life we enjoy today. Have a quick and safe ride home. We'll all be seeing you soon. [ 01-05-2002: Message edited by: Vader's Jester ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Sakai Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Whats wrong with me not liking a tv show that you like? I thought the show was awful, if you can''t deal with it then don't bother me about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I have to agree with Iron Chef... whether or not BoB the show was any good has little to do with lack of respect for the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Sakai Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 oh, i should have read the posts more, all i saw was band of brothers and i decided to add my 2 cents, i didnt see that it was about more then the tv series. my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Chef Sakai Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Thanks Herr, as usual i was taken the wrong way. I did not disrespect anyone except the creators of what i thought to be a weak tv series. T Though i may have posted it in the wrong post, i think Sitzkrieg needs to take some midol for those cramps.

KenH Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 New to the forums gents...but: Let's not hijack the thread about whether or not a certain miniseries was or was not any good. Let us pay our respects to 1st Sgt Lipton, a veteran of the Second World War. <salute!> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Another hero lost So much has been lost and I feel remorse. Let us remember that everyday we live in freedom is day we live in thanks to the veterans who have defended us. Make sure you appreciate it. Iron Chef next time read the thread before posting. How about even read the title of the thread? If you truly are sorry about your rude and out of place comments on this thread then go delete them, this thread is not about your opinion or your free speech it is about honoring in some small way a man we owe a great deal to and the others who served in that and all wars that have been fought to save our freedom and our rights.

Yeknodathon Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Yes, I feel sad about the news of Carwood Lipton. CM:BO, Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan may not be to everyone's taste but I guess they reflect the service and sacrifice offered to my generation. Without them, however flawed, I would be all the more ignorant. Carwood Lipton and all who gave freely are heroes. Yeknod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopenfaust2 Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Iron Chef likes television series like "Dallas". He doesn't like the shooting and the swearing. He likes the dresses and the cowboy hats. I just watched the 2 episodes that take place in the Ardennes and now hearing about the news of his death, I gotta thank him for what he's done. Thanks Carwood Lipton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done with this childish bickering. [ 01-06-2002: Message edited by: Herr Kruger ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 We owe a great debt to the these men who fought to defend our freedom. I look forward to the company of such men in the eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karch Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I feel very lucky. My father lives in Toledo OH and golfs with Lipton's son regularly. My parents bought me a hard copy of the book and had it signed by him just before Christmas. It is that much more special now. I can't wait to read it.
