Pete greeting the General

General McPartlin and my dad.

General McPartlin will surely be missed but not forgotten. My father and I made friends with General McPartlin at the DFW Welcome Home. It was an honor to have met such a special man. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to all Jim's family. I was fortunate to get to know him over the last few years through St. Elizabeth. He was truly a great man.

It was an honor for me to have had the opportunity to know and speak with General "Mac" the many times we were together welcoming home troops at DFW International airport. The General was a humble and genuine person. May he rest in peace.

It was an honor, a privilege, and a source of joy to have known General McPartlin these past 7 years. He was such a warm and humble man, as are all the veterans I've met through Honor Flight. His was without doubt The Greatest Generation, and the accomplishments those boys achieved during the war is mindboggling. He was an amazing man. My condolences and prayers are with his family.

Geoff; my thoughts and prayers are with you & your family during this difficult time.
