If America needs you again, would you be willing to return to active duty one grade lower?

If you read Once an Eagle, you know the hero was up and down in permanent and temporary ranks based on the needs of the military...but you might not know that one of my personal heroes, Gen. Andrew Goodpaster (SACEUR) took a downgrade to 3- star rank to command his beloved West Point. If we had full mobilization or even partial mobilization, what about you?

Very interesting fact. These are the things that make me proud of the men and women dedicated to this country and what being an American means.

Yes I would. He'll I would go back now I believe that we retirees have quite a bit left in us and for those that have faced the fire we are not likely to fold.
