Not sure what to say?

I remember him and my husband, Joe folding the American Flag at my dad's funeral. What an honor for dad to have a 3-Star General and a Green Beret Medic paying respects for his service in WWII as a Gunner's Mate. Every time Vaughn was in Williamsburg, he would come and see mom and dad. Vaughn's dad and my mother were siblings.

VO was the epitome of an Army Officer. Total professional and gentleman it was an honor to work with him. He always had your back and shared the work load. May God bless him and his family and friends always.

To the Lang Family It's been nine years since VO transitioned, but still love telling everyone what a great person and friend he was. May God continue to bless the entire family.

Very hard to believe that it has been 5 years since V.O. passed away. Memories of working with him are as crisp as if they were yesterday because he was the consummate teammate; humble, extraordinarily competent and never imposed or implied his rank.

I am so sorry to hear of General Lang's passing. I worked under V.O. when he was on active duty in the mid 1980s. His responsibilities at the time were great and I'm sure very heavy.

To the Lang Family. I met VO when we worked together at the SRF in Springfield, VA. He was loved and admired by all. The country lost a great person and a Hero.He will be missed. May God help you find comfort in the coming days.

LTG V.O. Lang was a friend,leader and gentleman whose contributions to US leadership communications are legend. He held many important commands in US Army communications and helped invent DoD's vulnerability assessment process. VO will be missed by all of us!

A great soldier, a thoughtful mentor and a friend. Rest in peace.
