Richard Winters was raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Franklin Marshall College in 1941 and enlisted in the Army. During basic training, Winters was amazed when an officer lectured for an hour about a particular type of rifle while holding the wrong rifle in his hands. He became determined to attend Officer Candidate School. It was also during basic training that Winters, so impressed by the paratroopers he saw, decided to volunteer for the Airborne. He joined Easy Company as a platoon leader at Camp Toccoa in the summer of 1942.
