Like many, I've been distracted by the drama in DC during the past week(s), but I don't think that the passing of a great man should be overshadowed by such events.

MG(R) Sidney Shachnow died last week. He is one of a handful of soldiers I've met who survived as a boy in WWII Europe and found a home in the U.S. Army. His story is more remarkable than most and can be found on Wiki. He was a great leader and a role model for many soldiers.

Rest in peace General Sidney Shachnow.

Thank you for your life time of service.

Salute

R.I.P. MGen Schachnow.

Thank you for your extended and brave service to your naturalized country.
