John W. Vogt

Dear Mrs Vogt,
I will always remember General Vogt for his combat spirit, and focus on making USAFE a "combat force" upon his becoming USAFE Commander in Europe mid-70's. I was a young Captain, a weapons officer at Bentwaters RAFB, in England at the time. The emphasis was entirely on safety and stan/eval, not on war-fighting. Gen. Vogt came aboard and immediately convened a Command-wide conference for Weapons Officers and their Wg. Commanders. What a breath of fresh, mission-oriented...

Living next door to you and Kathie was special. We will miss you General.Thanks for being a great American. Beverly & Jack Miller

So very sorry for the loss of your strongdad Leslie. We will keep you and your mom in our prayers and meditations while you flow through this challenging time.
Fondly and with love, Jeanne & Jon Caldwell

General--

It was an honor to serve under you in Vietnam in 1972. You were a true Warrior in every sense of the word.

Dear Vogt Family -

The Dougherty family will miss John Vogt very much. Great friends throughout the years (and next door neighbors at Bolling AFB in the early 70's) to General Russ and Gerry Dougherty and their kids Dede, Mark and Bryant. I used to watch General Vogt carry his very old, very crippled and very much loved dog from the house to the yard and back -- it always brought a tear to your eye then -- I'm feeling that way again now... Col Mark Dougherty (USAF, Ret)
