Here's the guy who has a heroic mission this week .. and I have no doubt he's up to the task. We all remember how tender and protective he was in his very honorable service to Mrs. Reagan as her escort during the Reagan Memorial Week events. Maj. Gen. Galen Jackman
Maj. Gen. Galen B. Jackman stands on a giant map of the inaugural parade route. Inaugural security is expected to be the tightest in history. (That map is amazing.)
Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge inspects heavily armed soldiers as he is briefed by Maj. Gen. Galen Jackman, commander of the military district of Washington, during a tour of the security in place for the inauguration.
Party on!!
He was remarkable in the gentle, yet strong way he escorted Mrs. Reagan. Although it was undoubtedly a sad duty for him, that has to be one of the biggest highlights of his career. I hope he gets his 4th star someday.
