President Bill Clinton praises General Wesley Clark
at City Year's Little Rock Launch
November 16, 2004

I'd like to say a particular word of thanks to Wes Clark.

I met Wes Clark (I think) in 1965, when most of you weren't alive.

He was at West Point, I was at Georgetown, we had never met in Arkansas, though we both grew up here 50 miles from one another.

In the ensuing 40 years, I can honestly say, I have rarely met any person whom I regarded more highly and whom I thought loved our country more or served it better.

I thank you, General Clark, for doing one more tour of duty for City Year.
