Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf

Obituary Condolences Gallery

During Desert Storm I was working the port and Class V operations at al Jubayl when General Schwarzkopf came to visit. I have never seen such appreciation and admiration for a commander. And of all the officers I have known, none was as much admired as General Schwarzkopf. His place in history, and in our hearts, is assured.

Storming Norman, we really need you for our country, now !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a soldier during the Gulf War in the "Sand Box" supporting the 2ACR as a communication specialist team Leader. I never felt more confident when I knew the Bear was in charge I could feel eminent victory which embolden me to be the best at what I did. Thanks Gen. Schwarzkopp. Now I am more confident of the following words: He will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore. (Isaiah 2:4). This was a very brave person who loved life and loved us all by multiple selfless acts during a rich lifetime helping others. Coming in the near future many will reap the rewards of a peaceful new world God has promised. 2 Peter 3:13.

I was an MP NCO stationed in Mainz FRG in 1980. He was the community commander. I got to speak with him on several occasions. One day he asked me if there was anything he could do for us MP's. I told him we were only issued 1 magazine for our pistols. On Monday when we arrived at the PMO we were issued 3 magazines. I also served as one of his body guards when the Pope was at Finthen Army Air Field in 1980. He was a Great General and I would have followed Him to the gates of hell.
