Rumsfeld noted that Myers' achievements are many, but he told one particular story that demonstrated Myers' dedication to his duty as chairman. On a rainy day in Arlington National Cemetery last year, Myers attended a remembrance ceremony for families of deceased servicemembers, Rumsfeld said. Long after the crowds had dispersed, Myers stayed behind, talking with every family member individually, he recalled.
"Here's the man who was the senior military officer in the United States of America and without question the most important military officer on the face of the Earth, and there was nothing more important in his life than standing there, visiting with each family member who wanted to talk," Rumsfeld said.
Thought you might include this in an upcoming Dose. Gen. Myers, (USAF, RET) is still my hero.
Thanks.

Did you see that I pinged you the photos of General Myers at this event with Rummy on the dose (9th November 2006) I thought you would want to see them.
