Stormin' Norman!

I didn't see this coming.

There will be a marching band of angels at the pearly gates and a pass in review.

A great leader and a very honorable man! I think his decision to remain out of the limelight and refuse constant pressure to run for public office speaks to his integrity and his respect for the constitution.

I salute him and feel for his family and fans!!

A true American hero. RIP


Watching the news today and some of the footage of the General during Desert Storm, it makes me wonder how long it'll be before we hear the same news regarding President George HW Bush. He's not doing well either.
