"The other piece for me personally was that some 40 years ago I left some guys on the battlefield in Vietnam who lost their lives following 2nd Lt. Pace. And I promised myself then that I will serve this country until I was no longer needed — that it’s not my decision. I need to be told that I’m done. I’ve been told I’m done. I will run through the finish line on 1 October, and when I run through the finish line I will have met the mission I set for myself."

We just lost a great leader and a class act. We will regret down the road I think.
