It was only months later when I learned that General Haig had passed away. He was a great military leader and statesman. I was a Lieutenant in Nurnberg, Germany when he was Supreme Allied Commander of Europe in the late seventies. At Major General George Patton's funeral, General and Mrs. Haig sit next to me at Fort Meyer Chapel and I will always remember that honor. Having a deep devotion to Jesus Christ and his Blessed Mother for their guiding powers, it made me so happy that General Haig's funeral was at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, my favorite church. They most certainly had an influence in his life and he is with them today in heaven. May God give you strength and peace in the years ahead.
My Battalion Commander in Vietnam. Always professional and concerned. Rest in peace.

Mary Lou, you touched so many lives over the years. May you rest in peace and enjoy Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. To the family, may God watch over you all and help you get through this holiday season. Your in our thoughts and prayers.

I played Tennis with "Al" (call me Al - NOT General!) and tried to set-up his body guards. They said Al doesn't want personal security with all he has survived (e.g. a very recent bomb in Brussels!). Al wrote us an invitation to stay at his chalet to play more tennis, but we truly "missed" that one.
We loved his IQ & wonderful sense of humor!

WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

My deepest sympathy to Mrs.Haig and the Haig family. Americans should be grateful for Gen. Haig's service to his country and the World.

Gen. Haig showed respect for all people regardless of their stature in life. My Father was his Field Artillery instructor when he was a cadet, and I was Brian and Alex's babysitter at West Point in the '50s when I was 13. He always remembered when back at the Point. He'll always be missed.
My Deepest Sympathy to the Haig Family and friends. This world has lost a great man and he will be sorely missed.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family may dear God hold you and comfort you in the time of loss he was a geart person andgood leader
My deepest sympathy to Mrs.Haig and the rest of the Haig family. Americans should be grateful for your husband's service to his country

Dear family of Alexander Haig,
My deepest condolence to you all. He truly was an amazing individual. I believe that this country and the world have lost a great person.
He and my uncle graduated from West Point together and spent much time reminiscing and talking either by email or on the phone before my uncle passed away last year.
Be comforted to know that he is with all the Saints that have gone before him.
Dear Haig family, We send our deepest condolences to your family. What an amazing, talented, committed and brilliant man your husband and father was. More men and women should strive to be like him. May you let our good and faithful Lord fill the emptiness he has left, knowing this world is a better place for the work he has done. In Deepest Sympathy,

Alexander Haig was my hero..... I wish he had become President of the United States. My sympathies to your family in this time of loss.

My deepest condolences to the Haig family. Mr. Haig was a true American hero through and through. When you define the term American patriot, you can define it in two words: Alexander Haig.
I wanted to say THANK YOU to a great man who served his country above and beyond the call of duty. My sincerest condolences to all who knew and loved him. May God bless you all now and always.
GREAT PERSON,LORD TAKE CARE OF ALEX.
Mrs. Haig and Family:
I'm Honored and privileged I was able to call General Haig my Friend- I have wonderful memories and I will miss him very much.
To the Family of Alexander Haig -
Thoughts and prayers for the family. He was always in charge and will certainly take control of things in Heaven. I appreciate his many contributions to our country.
My condolences to the family. I was honored to serve under him while in Germany in V Corps 2BN 75FA. The care he had for the average soldiers was impressive and I was always greatful for his leadership. He was a great man and will be missed.
As a Viet Nam veteran, I salute you sir! If there are any malingerers in heaven, i'm sure you will straighten them out!
Our condolences to the family and friends of this accomplished man. He lived a long and fruitful life. God bless
I was a great admirer of General Haig. I believe he would have been a great President if he had the opportunity. America and the world would have been a much better place. My prayers go out to him and his family.
To Alex Haig,
Alex I'm sorry for your loss. I was privileged to know your Dad in the Reagan Admin, and respected him greatly. Been a long time since we knew each other in McLean soccer. (Do you stay in touch with Andy Prince?). We're in Delaware now and I'm running for Castle's House seat as he moves up to the Senate. (www.Glen4Liberty.com) Maybe we'll catch up sometime, glen
To the Family of Alexander Haig, I am sure he is Heaven with all of his great accomplishment. My prayers are with the family.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Mrs. Haig.
My sincere condolences on the loss of General Haig. I worked for him from 1974 until I retired from the Army in
Dec '75. I was his Military Stenographer at SHAPE. It was an honor
and a pleasure to work for him.

THINKING OF YOU WITH SYMPATHY.
Mrs. Haig,
Shocked to learn that my dear friend and Great friend of China, General Haig has left us. It's a great lost for the US and China as well. I got to know the General 40 years ago since late 1971 when he took the advanced trip to China for preparing President Nixon's visit. General Haig is a remarkable man. He has dedicated his life to the US and contributed so much for the bilateral relation between our two great nations. GeneralHaig will live in our hearts forever.
Dear Mrs. Haig, Please accept our deepest condolence and take good care of yourself.

Dear honorable late Gen. Alexander Haig Jr.
You have saved the free South Korea from communist control with Gen. MacArthur.
Since you pass away, we who are for keeping the free Korea are deeply in sorrow.
We are praying to God for your keeping of your soul and spirit. Your body has gone into the earth, but your spirit for hope continues on earth and keeps freedom.
Also your spirit will be destroying communism and North Korean totalitarianism.
We will pray to God for your Soul and for your family.

I served under Alexander M Haig Jr. when he Commanded the 1/26th Infantry Regiment in Vietnam. We received our C.I.B.'s on the same day in January, and fought together in the battle of AP GU, March 31 - April 1, 1967 which earned him the Distinguished Service Cross. I was proud to have served under his Command and to have served Our Country together. We had an oppotunity to reunite in 1999 at a 1/26th Regimental Reunion in New Orleans. My deepest condolences to the Haig family.
Please accept my condolences. Death is difficult I hope you find comfort in these scriptures 2Cor 1:3-6
I had a good fortune of getting to know General Haig through my association with a Japanese biotech company where he served as a director.
I remember an evening in Tokyo more than three years ago on the occasion of a board meeting... I could not believe that he was as personable and talkative as he was because my previous impression had been a man of strong military prowess. I miss his warm smile from that evening.
May he rest in peace.
Too many of our true American Patriot's are leaving us. Mr. Haig had always had America's best interest in his mind and heart. He will be trely missed.
Dear Patricia,
As a member of your 1945 graduating class at Incarnate Word High School, San Antonio, Texas, I wish to extend not only my sympathy, but that of our classmates. We also wish to thank you for Alexander's and your years of service to our country, and for the wonderful role model that you have been for all of us.
I meet Al when he was the G3, 1st Infantry Division. I was the Division Commander's Aide at the Time. We spent a lot of time togeher while flying with the CG and in the Division Staff meeting and conferenes. Back then Al was a LTC and a great soldier. He had a great sense of humor and was a great G3, Battalion Commander and Bridge Commander. Best wishes to his family and my God BLess them all.
Jerry Griffin
Rest in Peace, General. You were a great soldier and a great American. A real American hero and leader. You were part of the 'Great Generation' and carried that over to my generation. I hope when my brother and I are interned at Arlington National Cemetery that we are buried close to you.
God Bless you,
25th Infantry Division, Vietnam.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
To Mrs Patricia Haig: I am devastated by the loss of the former Supreme Allied Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Gen. Alexander Meigs Haig, your wonderful husband and a friend to all Americans! Alexander rivals the stature of Alexander the Great (333 B.C.). His greatness was that of a Warrior/Statesman devoted to Peace...and not war! I plan to fly to Washington DC for his funeral! In honor opf the General, I am playing, at this writing, the music of Antonin Dvorak, titled "The American Suite" in honor of the General's memory and his contributions to America in the last qurater of the 20th century! Rest well Alexander,...well done...pass thru the gates.
My sincere sympathy in the loss of your loved one. Mr. Haig served our country well and for that, we should all be grateful. May the many happy memories you've shared over the years help suffice your great loss in the days to come.
Sincere Sympathy,

Dear Mrs. Haig and family, I had the great privilege of taking care of the General when he was a patient in ICU at Good Sam this past month. I will always remember with great fondness his devotion and service to our country. I will also treasure his great wit and engaging laugh. It was a special honor for me to show my appreciation for all his sacrifices for this country. Your in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, Al, for your service both in and out of uniform. As far as I'm concerned, you really were in charge on that day and many more. May you rest in peace.
I was just in school when General Haig was the Commander of SHAPE. But he was impressive, and I was always proud to say that we were there when he was.
May he rest in peace.

Sadly he will be remembered for one misstep, but should be remembered for so much more.

I served at S.H.A.P.E Belgium under the General and was very impressed with his power when he replaced General Andrew Goodpaster. Man, General Haig was awesome when he walked the halls of S.H.A.P.E. with all allied military personnel behind him. He reminded me of "Alexander The Great" General Haig was a great American as well as a kind man I will always respect his decisions he made and will continue to be a great role model to me. "May He Rest In Peace"
Our country has suffered a true loss. General Haig was a brilliant strategist and a true hero to me and many others. While he served under President Nixon, I was serving in the United States Marine Corps. General Haig, will be missed, my sincere condolences to the entire family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Father Haig,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. As you know, my brother just passed, as well. May you and your family be comforted, as I am, knowing that your brother is now in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you for your service to our country, General Haig. Our condolences to the Haig Family.
May the lord truly bless The Haig Family during your time of lost!
I was a young man in the 70's. I laways looked up to General Haig. I have thought about him many times this week and wanted to say Thank You for keeping us safe. We all owe a debt of graditude. God Bless, Rest in Peace.
General Haig is one who believed in the united States. God Bless you Sir, see you on the other side of this life.
The saddle lays empty with boots swinging low in the stirrups. Strains of TAPS fills the soft breeze as your spirit parades one last time against the backdrop of a grateful nation. "Eyes right," the troops will shout! An American General for the ages is passing.
So long General Haig ... a true Mighty Man of Valor.
Rest In Peace.
Cousin Pat and family,
We were saddened to learn of General Haig’s passing. As is always the case when a great man passes, the loss is shared by the entire nation. Our deepest condolences are accompanied by the hope that the memories of a life filled with extraordinary successes, remarkable achievements and immeasurable contributions to our nation, bring some measure of comfort to you during these trying days.
A really valiant trooper during some great difficulties. We should have more as loyal as he was to America. May the God of all peace comfort his family.
"When you see the lights on late in Kissinger's office, it's usually Haig."
-President Richard M. Nixon.
My sympathies to the family
General Haig was a person of character and a true leader. See you on the other side, Sir!
Both as a military man and government official, Gen. Haig was a man of character and a patriot. May he rest in peace.
There are too few individuals like Alexander Haig. And there are less and less of them coming into being. God help this nation that we cannot have the men of virtue, excellence, devotion, and belief in God that General Haig represented. His death is an incaculable loss.
I remember Gen Haig when he was in NATO. He would come in to see the Chairman of the JCS (where I worked)and
would always sit by my desk and talk with me. He was a very kind man.
At all times in his military career and later - he was always a soldier first. We are proud of him and shall miss him.
I always appreciated and admired Mr Haig for his dignity, honour and leadership for our country. My sympathies for the Haig family and loved ones. The Lord comfort you all with the comfort Jesus richly gives.
Sending condolences to Rev. Frank Haig, who was one of the greatest teachers I ever had. My prayers to your family.
Kim Hitselberger Fernandez
Thank you General Haig for your serves to your country.
My condolences to the Haig family on your loss. I hope you're able to find comfort in the thoughts expressed at Isaiah 61:2.

He was a great man, our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.
Our thoughts and prays are with all of you. The General was a great man. Although we have never met I am General Haig's 3rd or 4th cousin. My great grandfather was William Alexander Haig. You have many freinds and family here in Wisconsin that are were very sorry to hear of the Generals passing. May God bless all of you, our deepest condolences on your loss.
I was fortunate to have worked with Gen. Haig in Belgium at SHAPE as his
aircraft security chief. My wife at the
time was his social and appointments
secretary. He was like a father figure to us, not a General. I wish his family well and cherish my memories
of service with him.
Mr. Haig was a man with initiative. Rest in peace sir.
God has called home a tireless soldier to his eternal rest. May the Lord keep the family in His love and grace. My deepest condolences on your loss.
Dear, Brian, Barb, and Alex.
Losing my father was one of the hardest things I have ever had to face.
I know you must be feeling the same way right about now.
All I can offer is that over time the pain will ease. Your memories of him will live on.
I hope you find it a comfort to know that so many Americans think highly of your dad. To me, your dad was indeed one of the greats.
God Bless.
General Haig was blessed with a wonderful devotion to God, country and family. He was the epitome of what a true American gives to the people of the world. He will be greatly missed, God bless and comfort all of you in the present and all the years to come. Paul Hickey was a family member of mine and was very elated to be part of General Haigs' team . Paul spoke withpride of General Haig , we listened with gratitude for General Haigs' service .

General Haig will be missed. He was a great American. I had the honor to meet him many, many years ago when I was stationed at FT Belvoir, VA after returning from Vietnam. He was among those who held the Army and the nation together during most difficult times.

Frank,
Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I will offer Mass for Al today.
Please accept our warmest sympathies and be comforted knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34: 18). He can give us ‘power beyond what is normal’ to go on from one day to the next. (2 Corinthians 4: 7).
Dear Barbara,
My condolences to your family as you mourn the loss of your Dad, a great leader, statesman, soldier and hero. His service to our Nation will never be forgotten, especially during the hardest of times. Never will I forget the moment when President Nixon was leaving the South Lawn after his resignation and you just wept...your concern for the demands now on your Father.I am forever greatful in having met and known your Father.
I thank General Haig for helping to keep America strong. My husband fought in Korea and Viet Nam
My condolences to the family. God bless you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
General Haig should be remembered for not only his dedication to public service, but that of a Soldier-Statesman of the first order. This, with the distinction of serving some of the 20th century's most notable men in different/varying capacities (MacArthur, Nixon, Reagan) and the troops he led in combat, were more than proof of his outstanding leadership qualities.

Thank you for all of your service General Haig. A special thank you for your Republic of Vietnam service. God bless you and long live our Republic for which you help protect. General, you always had it right with Realpolitik. From a United States Army disabled Republic of Vietnam combat veteran.
General Haig was a very astute military man and was respected by many of his troops. However, it was his commitment to the military that also shown thru when one was in his presence. He will be missed by family and friends through out the world. My prayers will be for his family and very close friends

It was my pleasure to serve General Haig when he was the Supreme Allied Commander In Europe. I flew with him has as part of his Aircraft Security group. He and his wife always treated the staff with respect. I still remember him having a Colonel apologize to me (a young airmen at the time) for being over demanding during a flight. Thanks General. Jesus R. Castillo, TSgt, USAF, Ret
To Father Frank and Mrs Haig and the family May God Be With you all! My wife Mary and I are proud to have watched such an honorable man in American life. He helped President Nixon and President Ford in a very difficult time in the 20th Century. I had the privilege of meeting and talking with both Presidents along with President Reagan whom he also served. Thank you for your service! May God give you eternal rest and may the perpetual light shine upon him.Jerry and Mary White,Springfield, IL
Thank You Sir and General for your service to our country. It was very greatly appreciated you have always held your head high with respect in everything you did. May you Rest In Peace and may your family find comfort.
General Haig should be remembered for his years of service and not some comment he made in the shock and fear of the moment in 1981. Let us focus on his good works and remember his many friends and family in prayer!
Thank you for your commitment to this country, General. May the loving connections within your family carry them through their grief. God bless your family.
Thanks Gen. Haig for your years of service, God Bless.
GEN Haig,
You inspected my orderly room in Battery C, 3/84th FA in Neckarsulm, Germany in 1974. As a SP4, I was scared spitless as the top-ranking officer in Europe was coming to tour our Artillery Kaserne. I never saw 4 stars on a soft-cap before and as you entered the office, you raised your hand to shake, but I freightenedly raised my hand and threw it into a salute which you promptly returned. You were cool, calm and collected and you make me feel that we were all part of the forces that were defending freedom in Europe and the world. As a draftee, my life was drastically changed but I fulfilled my military destiny and made my family, friends and fellow service members proud. I always wanted to meet you again. Thank you for your leadership.
Didn't know the man personally, but held him in high regard. Would have been an honor just to shake his hand. A true gentleman and patriot. Rest in Peace
rest in peace you are all american hero a true patriot served his country.
Thank you for your service to our country. You have made our nation proud
and our world better for your service.
May God comfort your family at this difficult time and bless you for all you did for this nation.
My deepest sympathy to the Haig family. General Haig served his Creator, Family and Country with faithful devotion to honor, fidelity and duty. May he now "Requiescat in Pace"
(Rest in Peace).

I MET THIS GREAT MAN AT SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT MANY YEARS AGO.HE WAS TRULY A GENTLEMAN AND A GREAT AMERICAN WHO WILL GO DOWN AS SUCH IN OUR HISTORY.GOD BLESS HIM....
Dearest Brian
I am so sorry to learn of your dad's passing. He was truly one of the world's greatest men.
While I never knew him personally as General Haig, I did know him as the father of one of my favorite authors, and a customer in the bookshop. What a sweet man! I remember one day he and his brother came into the store and he said he wanted to make sure we had his son's books and that one was in the window. Of course, we had all of the books and the latest one was, indeed, in the window. That made him so happy. Always know that he was so very proud of you! His face just lit up when I told him that his son was one of our favorite authors and that we would always have his books in the store.
Brian, know that we at Classic Bookshop in Palm Beach, along with the whole world, are all thinking of you and sharing your grief as you reflect on the life of this great man. He will never be forgotten and his spirit will live on forever in those who loved him the most - his family. Be strong and take good care of your beautiful mom, and please extend my personal condolences to her.
Love to you and your family.
god bless you general haig,you stood tall among all american heros
A true patriot and a great American. A man who truly served his country. My sincere sympathy to the Haig family.
Rest in Peace, you are a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT and HERO
Patricia: I'm so sorry to hear of the lost of your husband. Sixty years of marriage is something that you don't hear of much anymore. We know that marriage is a sacred institution by God and I applaude you. I'm also sure that you will miss your husband of that many years. No matter who we are or what position we hold in the world the eventuality of us all is death. (Ecclesiastes 3:19) The good news is death is not the end of it all, the bible promises " There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous." ( Acts 24:15) and Jesus himself said:" The hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. " (John 5:28,29) Come out to a beautiful, peaceful new world with perfect health where there will be no more sickness, old age or death. (Revelation 21:3,4) Turn to God in prayer and he will sustain you.
May God Bless & keep the Haig Family for this country has lost another great americam !
This republic can never re-pay the debt owed this patriot!
RIP General! Thank you for your example of service to our country.
Thank you General Haig for your service to our Country.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort as well as Jehovah Gods promise found at Revelations 21:3, 4
Father Frank- Our prayers will be with you and your family in the loss of your brother. God bless you.

Our condolences to the Haig family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. It is always so painful to lose someone you love. May you find comfort in our Heavenly Father's promise recorded at Revelation 21:4, which says: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." With deepest sympathy,
Great Patroit & a Great American

Thank You for your service General
May God grant you Peace,rest well General you served you country well.
General Alexander M. Haig was almost as much of a patriot as was the great General Robert E. Lee. May the Lord bless both of them.
I served in U.S.Army under General Haig. It was a honor to have a great General leading us. General Hig was the reason I served 25 years.God Bless your family. Rest in Peace General. I salute you General.
When I think of Secretary Haig, I am reminded of the phrase taken from "America, the Beautiful",
"who more than self their
country loved, and mercy more
than life".
May God bless and comfort the Haig family during this most difficult of times. With deepest sympathy,
I served under General Haig and it was a honor the he was my Commander we had many long talks and he was aways the guiding force I Salute you GENERAL God Bless
Condolences to your family. We are honored by his service to his country. He was a true patriot. Donna Poulnot (Snellville, GA)
In the early 1970's we lived across the street at Ft. McNair next to the tennis court and were always so very proud of our neighbor General Haig. We didn't get to see him much once he went to the White House and worked such long hours. He is an American hero, and we are very sad to know of his death. Our sincerest sympathy to Mrs. Haig and Brian and Barbara and all the extended family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. We are grateful for the life and legacy of General Haig.
An extraordinary American--it was a privilege to have been in his orbit. General Haig epitomized what a leader should be. Our heartfelt prayers to the Haig family and his many friends.
While shopping at Publix Palm Beach, we turned at the end of an isle and the General and Mrs. Haig were coming toward us. We all said hello to each other and chatted for a few minutes. When we were about to continiue, I whispered in his ear "We Listen to our masters voice" His response was a laugh and a "you bet".
In Honor Of You And Your Service To Your Country; Condolences And Best Wishes To Your Family And Friends.
Thank you to a superb patriot who served his beloved country with great integrity and leadership in many ways over many decades. May our Lord bless and comfort the loved ones of Secretary Haig. May His Peace be yours.
America's loss, Heavens gain. Rest in peace General. Condolences to your family.
Never met Mr. Haig but always thought highly of him. I remember the Nixon era very well. Peace be to him and his family.
Twice, I had the privilege of meeting Secretary Haig. He was very nice, and gracious enough to pose for a photo with me. It is a cherished possession. Mr. Secretary, you served your country well, and we salute you.
RIP.
Condolences to the family and friends of Alexander Haig, who was a great Patriot. A man who loved and served this Country well, with honesty and integrity. May God Bless you in your time of sorrow.

Rest in peace, another great has passed.
Your days and nights of diplomatic negotiating and war have passed.
Rest in peace.
"Duty, Honor, Country". General Haig lived the West Point motto. The Long Gray Line salutes you, sir. Well Done....Be Thou At Peace.
I watched him run around the back of his LOH before it crashed down,
and charge into the woodline with his .45 held high.
The sniper that had been peppering the ground when I tried to crawl away was no more.
God Bless you General.

To the Haig Family you are in my prayers. Mr.Haig present will be miss at my place of work. He was a very repected person and we will always talked about what was going on in the world. Mr. Haig rest in peace you will be missed.
Rest in peace, you were a Great
man, and admired.
God will take care of you now.
General Haig was a strong figure in the wake of the weakness in leadership America experienced in the late 1970's. He was part of the resurrection of pride America experienced in the early '80s. I met General Haig on the Trump Shuttle 20 years ago - he was very down to Earth and had a story for all - a fascinating man. I'd like to extend my deepest appreciation for his service as a true American patriot and also my sympathies to the Haig family in this time of sorrow.
So sorry to hear of such a great person as Alexander Haig passing away my brother and his wife Tom and Aurora Birch, spoke so highly of your family and what a great accomplished and good person he was.
Rest in peace, General. You served our country well.
God Bless you General...
My father a retired Colonel spoke very highly of the General. He was very fond of him and truly respected him.
May God Bless you in your time of sorrow. Your husband, father and grandfather, General Haig, was a great patriot. He loved his country and served it well. We remember him well thru the eras of the late presidents he served.

I served on Active duty while Al was doing his thing in Washington. He really was a man of leadership qualities. he knew what he wanted and he knew how to motivate people. He caught hell for his comments in the White House but I remember it well. He was the ONLY person with any leadership in town and he took command until things came back to order. he was a superb leader and a soldier that anyone should have felt comfortable about going into battle with. He will be missed. He is from the old scholl of leadership...Lead, Follow or get the Hell out of the Way....

I first met General Haig in 1983 when I became Secretary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., on whose Board of Directors General Haig served until 2005.
I always looked forward to the conversations we would frequently have following Board meetings, during which he would generously share his thoughts on national and world events as well as his reminiscences of his many years of military and public service.
Although our political views often differed, I liked and admired him greatly and considered him a kind and generous friend.
I am saddened by his death and offer my sincere condolences to his family.
Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.
Contraversial in most of his civilian career but a Great Patriot indeed.

Among the great honors of my life has been working with this incredible American Military Officer and statesman from his years as a Colonel, General, and Secreatry of State. He was easy to work with, awesomely credible, astutely knowledgeable, great to work with in India and Pakistan and a genuine human. He will be missed.

General Haig, on behalf of all Americans, I thank you for your leadership during a time of national crisis. My prayers are with you and your family, you will be missed.
America needs more people like General Haig. He wa truely a hero of mine.
I knew him when he was the NATO forces commander and later as a neighbor when he was Pres. of UA in Connecticut. One of the most outstanding individuals to ever have served in the military and politically in Washington. Men such as these don't happen very often. May the General rest in ever lasting peace. He deserves the admiration of our nation.
General,rest in peace,sir. May God's Holy Peace be with you family. Being an Army veteran I pray for your soul.
General Haig was the greatest Sec. of State during the rough times of America.. As Americas should thank him for all his supports during his office years good or bad...He was the greatest on our team..Today we have no leaders since him,RIP
My prayers are for the Haig family and friends at this bereaved time. Who comforts us in all our tribulation , that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God. (2 Corinthians 1:4)

I am saddened to hear the loss of one of my HERO'S. I have been a Military wife for many years and now a widow. We all looked up to General Haig and his courage over the years. He is now at peace and I feel that Fred LeBlanc said it well. General Haig was and remains A GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT.
Thank you, General Haig, for your many years of service! You are a true American hero, and I appreciated your courage when President Reagan was shot.
Thank you for your years of service to the United States, General. We're sad to see you "fade away".
