VAllely has guts - something sadly lacking in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the White House’s sadsack military advisor, and in the Secretary’s of State, Defense, the Army, Navy, etc.
The General was born in DuBois, Pa. which was founded by my wife’s father’s ancestors. At least 7 of them were Union soldiers from DuBois and/or Sykesille, Pa. and fought in the Pennsylvania Volunteers regiment at Gettysburgh. Their names appear the Penn. Regiment’s monument there.
Good stock. Loyal Americans.
PS. My father-in-law fought on Iwo. Has at least three Purple Hearts that we know of.
Incredible service to country.
