Pace recognized Joyce Rumsfeld for her contributions to her husband’s service in the Pentagon. “Anybody who has ever been in the same room with Joyce Rumsfeld knows her warmth, her compassion,” the general said. “She spent so many hours volunteering, working on family issues, visiting troops in the hospitals.”
Pace presented her with the department’s Distinguished Public Servant Award. Pace boiled the award citation down to, “Joyce, thank you, we love you, God bless you and your husband in the next stages of your lives.”
