COL Green was a inspirational role model and among the most outstanding officers of any component I knew during my career, including the few years I served with elements of the 112th Med Bde. His legacy will live on in the person of you, his daughter, the incoming TAG, ONG. It was truly a privilege to serve with your father.

The first time I met the Colonel we were in war exercises and he looked at me and said "whatever you do, if we get caught don't call me Colonel call me Bob!" what a sense of humor and wonderful leader. Julie and I will always remember him with fondness. Bless the entire family.. Don S. Montgomery MSG (E8) (retired)

We'd like to express our sympathy to Bob's family. He and Donna were members of the Marysville Village Squares and we enjoyed knowing them. Alzheimers is such a sad thing and It's a comfort to know that Bob is at peace now.

Doug and Fran, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers. I thought very highly of your Dad, Doug. He was a wonderful man as I remember working with him when I worked with him at the Armory years back. A perfect gentleman and kind friend. God Bless.
