I served under both of these fine Americans. Gen S (name is hard to spell) is a huge figure in the history of our military from Vietnam to Desert Shield/Storm to post Shield/Storm. He is quite small in stature but a huge teddy bear in reality. I was stunned by how short he actually is. I also met Prez Bush 1 at a homecoming from Shield/Storm. He brought his brand new AF 1 (the 747) to Sumter SC to meet with the troops and family. He too was shorter than I expected. A great example of BIG THINGS come in SMALL PACKAGES!

A little history (hope I'm not boring you), Gen S was a young Lt in Vietnam, seeing his troops all around him being fragged by friendly fire, he made it a point of his command of the US response of Shield/Storm to not have FF incidents. His record of prosecution of those who caused casualties due to variances to procedures is a testament to the success of limiting FF statistics.

General, I Salute You!
