In Memory Of General Colin L. Powell.

We lost a great warrior today. I will always remember General Powell, the soldier.

General Powell in reference to Desert Storm... "We don't want a fair fight."

General Powell in reference to the Iraqi army... "First we're going to cut it off, then we're going to kill it."

General Powell accomplished so much in his life... he will be missed.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in peace, General Powell. You were the right man in the right place at the right time when your country needed you.

Thank you, sir, for your service!

Sad he had to die of COVID. A terrible way to die. He was a great asset to our nation.

Amen. I was so shocked when I heard this news. I just finished listening to a biography of him not long ago.
