Audie L. Murphy Memorial Website Message Boards

General John R. Galvin, a very respected retired General and Diplomat has endorsed the petition for Audie.
Retired General Galvin was the official Peace Envoy for President Clinton who brokered the Peace Accord in Bosnia.
He also was Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University post retirement and a member of the U.S. Commision on National Secuity in the 21st Century.
Of note, something I always liked about General Galvin was in uniform he never wore all of the optional ribbons and badges as do most general officers, but instead opted to wear only two rows of his personal decorations (those rendered for heroism etc).
General Galvin is a very respected officer who also was the Supreme Commander of NATO at the time that the Berlin Wall came down, and received extensive nightly news coverage during the Peace Negotiations and signing of the Bosnian Peace Accord in retirement.

He is his short bio:

good work, Dave!

A truly humble but mighty leader has joined ranks with the other people of the petition. Great job, Dave! I remember Galvin visiting my "Area Control Center (ACC) while I was working as an Air Defense Liaison during a Winter Reforger in Germany in 1987. A very well-spoken and approachable leader.

Richard:

That is a cool recollection. I had always heard that he was a humble and decent leader, and your recollection coupled with his endorsement proves what I had always heard to be true.

Thanks,

Dave
