78 years old from Tampa, Florida
August 22, 1934 – December 27, 2012
On December 27 we lost 4-Star General Norman Schwarzkopf. Younger people may not really know who he was, but those of us 30 and older will remember him during the Gulf War. And rather than try and condense his life and career into a small post, which is impossible by the way, I’ve found a couple of links that do a much better job telling the story of this hero.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them Hero.

I am an American so of course to me this was a great loss for our country. What really scares me is that I am getting old enough to watch so many of my heroes and favorite people pass on!
I hope you’re having a great day!
