I sponsored a table supporting a fundraiser for Vietnam War Memorial Fund last night, which will put the memorial on Oregon State Capitol grounds, and had the honor of meeting Gen. (ret.) James Mattis, the main speaker at the event.
Earlier in the evening we met during the photo op and he was gracious and kind. He called my wife "a pretty young thing" in greeting her and gave me an "UH-rah".
His keynote was outstanding and focused on the service and sacrifices of our Vietnam Veterans, along with their loved ones.
To my thinking, we need more patriots like him in positions of leadership in our military and government.
