Military aid/escort for George Bush 43

Appeared to be a 2 star General.

I will admit that I have never seen scrambled eggs go all the way to the back before.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

There are A LOT of 2-star generals.

Likely someone running a staff in the DC area, as the DC Military component is in charge of Presidential funerals.

As in a 2-star in charge of the old guard unit?

There are only a few hundred general officers of any grade.

Yeah, that's a lot.

There are more Admirals than ships, more Generals than Division, etc.

Quick Google shows me there are 114 2-stars in the Army.

The guy in charge of the Old Guard would be a good bet.

I believe the person you are referring to is Major General Michael Howard, the Commanding General of the Military District of Washington.

If you are referring to USMC Captain Brye French, he graduated from the same HS as my 2 sons.
