General Downing was my Battalion Commander with 2nd Ranger Battalion at Fort Lewis, Washington. He truly led the way and then some!

Reminiscing--I Googled "past SOCOM commanders, trying to find the name of the commander when I was stationed at MacDill AFB, FL from 91-94. It was General Downing. Before I even knew who he was, I was so impressed with his kindness and humanity toward others. My daughter and I used to rollerblade right past his and Kathy's house on Bayshore Blvd and that's how we got to know him. He lived just a block down the street from us on base.

As a mother of a soldier and sailor, I would like to express how proud I am to know that my son and daughter are following the paths of a great "warrior". I love reading and hearing every story that I can of this great, honorable and mighty general. He was an outstanding example of what leadership should represent and words could never express how much we all love and miss him. Many blessings to his entire family.
