Capt. George A. Wood

In Memoriam: CPT George A. Wood: 1970-2003. I can't believe that it's been 11 years…. I will always remember the night of November 20, 2003. I will never forget the father figure that was taken from Bravo Company 1-67 Armor on that night. When CPT Wood took over as our company commander I remember being so astonished by his presence. Why would an Ivy League educated former football star be willing to join the Army and command a small tank company in Baqubah, Iraq? Whether it was Cornell...

George, not a day goes by I don't think of you. I admired you leading from the front, always having the best interest of your men. Ten years ago you joined many becoming a true Hero. To your family, my deepest prayers.

The finest officer I ever served with. In more than 12 years of military service I have never known a better example of what an Army Officer and leader should be. I am an Officer and leader. He was a leader of leaders.

George, I continue to serve with your memory, and one day I hope to complete that PHD in Roman Political History that you inspired me to pursue. I will always be indebted to you for ...who you were.

To the family of Capt. George A. Wood:
George gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...
