I am contemplating offering 25% of all profits to a fund in order to design and create a 'World Medal of Honor' to give to both Major Winters and Company E. I really hope that congress see sense and do the right thing for Major Winters in the near future, but taking into consideration his age I feel that it may be more suitable for the 30,000 people who have signed the petition to award him a 'World' Medal of Honor’ rather than from a congress that do not seem to have time to consider public opinion.

Hello to all,

I am pleased to let you know that the D-Day Dead Man's Corner Museum, Saint-Côme-du-Mont, Normandy, France, are erecting a special Marquee to display the 'Ten Days of Winter(s)' exhibition and some artifacts relating to Major Winters. The exhibition will run from 4th June for three days, maybe more. I do hope that some of the friends of Major Winters, Easy Company and the 101st Airborne drop in to say hello and anyone else of course.

I have decided to release a strictly limited edition of prints of the paintings, only 65 for each painting, in commemoration of the D-day anniversary. I also would like the Major Winters forum to know that I am aware that not everyone can afford fine art prints and so as they become available in the next week or so, The prints will be priced at only £65.00 each.

I will again forward any details but would appreciate feedback regarding this and also be interested if anyone has any designs that they might like to forward to me at james@paintpop.com

4th June 2009

The Exhibition 10 Days of Winter(s) opened in Normandy at Dead Man's Corner Saint-Côme-du-Mont/Carentan today and prints started selling within the first 30 minutes.

The most popular being Man of Honour, We Stand Alone Together and Follow me. We were joined in our especially erected marquee outside the museum by Normandy Veteran Harley Reynolds who was the first man of his landing craft on Omaha Beach. Harley signed a canvas for me and I will be doing his portrait very soon.
