Belated condolences

I just discovered last night that retired U.S. Army Col. David Hackworth died in May 2005. "Hack," as many knew him, was an outspoken critic of the way the military handled the situation in Vietnam, and later the conduct of our campaign in Iraq. Over the years, he earned both criticism and praise. But in the end, he was one of the most decorated veterans this nation has seen in some time and showed his care and concern for the common soldier.
He provided an example of leadership and his legacy will remain for many years to come.
