RIP, General.
I wonder if McNamara was there?
What can you say about a guy who worked for the snake in the grass Johnson, kissed his ass and damn the troups.
Thanks for posting the pictures.
May he rest in peace.
He must have loved West Point. I can think of no better ending to be laid to rest in a place that defines one's soul.
