General Charles C. McDonald

A great leader, General Mc Donald was my wing commander at March AFB in the 80´s. I was Squqdron Commander of the Supply Squadron. George Kobernus

I only recently learned of General McDonald's passing five years past. General McDonald was perhaps the finest military officer and leader that I came to know during my short career as an Air Force officer. He was an example for me in so many ways both during the time that I served under his command of the 320th Bomb Wing at Mather AFB, California, and during a few almost divinely inspired moments that our lives intersected many years later. As the officer-in-charge of B-52 mission...

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of General McDonald. He was an extraordinary man. His competitive style and skills were only surpassed by his incredible positive influence and zest for life. He was a life of service, love, compassion, and excellence to all who knew him. He and Mrs. McDonald (Lucile) will always be special to me, as they were to all who knew them. I will be forever grateful for my time in his Protocol Office. It was an honor to serve in his Command. ...

Lucile, our love, thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family. During our 30 years of friendship, we four have shared many wonderful and some difficult time together. You both are such a blessing and inspiration. May God give you extra comfort as we go about saying goodbye to Charlie.

Grant rest eternal to your servant Charlie O Lord, let light perpetual shine upon him and fill all who loved him and grieve with your peace and grace.
Lord in your mercy hear our prayer...Amen

General McDonald will always maintain a very special place in the hearts of the Brittingham family. He and Mrs McDonald were always very special to us , as they were to everyone they touched in their 35 years of military life and many years as members of the Church family. I will always treasure the more than five years that I spent as General McDonald's Executive Officer and I am certain that many others that worked closely with the General will remember him fondly as we do. REST IN PEACE,...
