Greetings Mrs McCullom -
Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words. It’s nice to know that somebody is finding something useful.
Yes. I’m still looking for a video of General Dunwoody tossing the first pitch at Yankees Stadium. Army Materiel Command has nothing nor does Military.com. Photos, yes.
Didn’t they have their own videographer out there? AMC outfits every single soldier with every single thing – you’d think they’d supply their Commanding General with a video. And the Golden Knights parachuting in. It should be part of the Army’s history like the astronaut tossing it in space.
What about the Yankees? Isn’t that part of the “appreciation”? MLB?
So as long as I was there…here’s an old video with Katie Couric and the second one is PBS.
By law the Army is only allowed 11 active duty generals at one time. Why a law?
More than 300 active duty male Army generals
57 female generals
Of which there are only FIVE 3-star
And only ONE 4-star
Gen Dunwoody is the only woman to get 4th star…after 33 years.
Imagine what type of sexism she faced (faces) and overcame. Does she get paid the same as a male 4-star?
COURIC: She has not only earned a star, she deserves to be saluted.
She would do a great service to women in the Military, women in general and American history if she wrote a book. What are the chances Capt Sullenberger’s publisher will track her down? Or General Schwarzkopf’s? Or a woman-owned publisher? The Army probably does their own.
