You beat me to it Loader. What a great man he was. He was a leader that all the troops would follow into combat. I actually met him outside of a market in Tampa when I was on a visit to see my girlfriends family in 1995 at the time I was stationed at Langley AFB. To bad they don't make them like him anymore. I would compare him to a Patton any day of the week and would follow his lead still to this day. Edited December 28, 2012 by GorillaXI Blackbart, Spartacus, Kansas88 and 1 other 4

He was great leader and as Gorilla said, I'd follow him into battle again. He told us then quote: "He was confident that if need be the U.S. would "Kick Saddam's teeth in and send him packing back to Iraq." He will be missed. http://www.usswisconsin.org/Pictures/Famous%20Visitors/skopf.htm GorillaXI, loaderXI, Blackbart and 1 other 4 Awards
