what a great man, I love the photo of him hugging Lt Kinard, and I love the fact that Lt Kinard still has the uniform, in my day he would have been sent to the scrap pile. I would bet that his contribution to the Defense Department is above and beyond.
A job well done. Over 40 years of service, not many can say that!
GEN Pace is a great leader and a compassionate man. AND a great Catholic. It's shameful that he was prematurely forced out of the military but we army families appreciate his service immensely.
