"At the Vietnam Wall we saw something unbelievable. We noticed three small index cards at the base of the Wall.
I knelt down for a closer look and noticed that a 4-star general's rank was pinned to each card.
The cards were personally addressed and said something like:
These are Yours - not mine! With Love and Respect, Your Platoon Leader, Pete Pace 1 Oct 2007
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs had laid down his rank for his boys who died in Nam. Oct 1 was the day he stepped down as Chairman."

Thank God we have a gentleman and an officer like him. Thank you for your Service and I hope you go on to even greater things. You have my vote if you do.
Indeed. Thank God for Gen. Pace.
Thank you for sharing about this and Gen. Pace.
God bless you General Pace and thank you.
1) If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.
2) That’s why the motto is “Semper Fi.”
Yes, it's called The Civil War.
Fair Winds...
Never heard it or saw it anywhere else. (Sigh)
Peter Pace graduated from the Naval Academy one year ahead of Oliver North and James Webb. What company James Webb is associated with, and the comparison is not good for him!
If you weren't such a simpleton you'd know that he has, many times.
Well said, brother. Well said.
This is the reason I hold our veterans in such high regard. These are the sentiments of noble men, and ours is a world that can sorely use more of that nobility.

PACE = POTUS

It's a big school and if it's been around for a while, that 55 could cover many generations. I would not be at all surprised if the High School I went to had 55 or more, although I don't know if they ever kept track like this school does. The school has been there since the Spanish-American War and had well over 2500 students when I attended. I know of two classmates that died in Vietnam and there could have been more than that for all I know.
Wouldn’t that be great, and scare the teeth right out of the skulls of ‘anti-war’ Americans.
Yes. It's a good thing we have the New Media. Otherwise real news would never get out.
Has a nice ring to it. :-)

My deepest respects to General Pace.
Did anyone else’s allergies just act up?
wow.
I’m crying.
