When I saw that General Clark was going to speak at the Officer Candidate School Graduation in Fort Benning on Oct 12th, I ran to the phone to call mom and dad. They live there – I grew up an army brat in Fort Benning, my dad’s a retired Lt.Col. – and this would be their first chance to see the General in person. It’s southern Georgia, not exactly a Democratic stronghold, and being in their late 80’s and a little less mobile, they have never had the opportunity to see General Clark in person. This meant a lot to me. They’ve been avid supporters of the General ever since my Draft days, and, more importantly, supported me all through it – even paying some of my bills when I quit my job to help full-time with the Draft here in Northern California and then relocating to New Hampshire during the primary. My life would not be complete until they had the chance to experience him in person.
