GEN John W. Vessey.

Enlisted in the Minnesota National Guard in 1939.

Battlefield commission at Anzio.

DSC at the Battle of Suoi Tre, which I first heard about from one of my drill sergeants who was a newly-arrived private in Vessey's 2-77 FA at the time of the battle.

Chairman of the JCS.

He served as a good role model who never forgot his roots.

Salute General! RIP.


One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
