Stormin' Norman Passes at 78

I gotta say, he stood up for what he felt was right.

A true American hero and a legend in his own right. I have always loved some of the things he said.

"Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without strategy"

"True courage is being afraid, and going ahead and doing your job anyhow, that's what courage is"

"When placed in command - take charge"

"Do what is right, not what you think high headquarters wants or what you think will make you look good"

I loved his sense of humor

"As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that."

"Going to war without France is like going hunting without an accordion."

Prayers and condolences to his family.
