Not sure what to say?

I was honored to have known Gen. Galer for several years through
the CAF and Aces Association. A
truly great American. He will be
missed by all of us.

Although I never had the honor of meeting Gen. Galer, I am forever indebted to him as well as all MOH recipients. He was truly the bravest of the brave.

May God Bless his family and America.

Another great loss to our country. I didn't know Gen. Galer, but I know he was a great american.
My deepest sympathy for his loss.

A proud Veteran

The students, parents, and staff of the Laurel Bay Schools would like to express thier deepest sympathy to the family of Brigadier General Robert E. Galer. We are honored to have known him and to have named one of our schools, Robert E. Galer Elementary School, in his honor. General Galer is truly an American hero who will be missed and who will be remembered with great admiration. He will continue to be a role model for all the students of our schools in the future as they learn of his life...

It was my great honor and privelege to meet General Galer twice. He was a wonderful person and a great warrior. He will be missed. My heart felt condolence are extended to his family.

We met Gen Galer at the Courage Under Fire premier in Dallas in the early 1990's and saw him several more times at events. He was a lovely man. Though we last saw him in 98 when he was in rehab just before we moved to Va., we have thought of him so much through the yrs. Steve was a Marine in the 1970's in the same squadron that Gen Galor was in during WW2. Our thoughts and prayers go with you during this time. What a wonderful treasure of a man you have shared with the world!
