I had the pleasure to meet Gen. Haig when he gave a speech at my college, great man.

I had the same pleasure to meet GEN Haig, as a young Army officer on an AF Base. In the receiving line after his speech, I told GEN Haig that I wish my soldiers could have heard his speech, adding "if they had, the Wing Commander's Weekend Incident Report wouldn't be as lengthy."

The Wing Commander and my boss blanched, but GEN Haig laughed, well aware of the inclinations of Army soldiers to get rowdy when they're off duty.

I was proud to serve with GEN Haig.
