FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Will Folks 803-734-2100 [email protected]
Columbia, S.C. - July 19, 2005 - Gov. Mark Sanford today issued the following statement on the passing of South Carolina native and former U.S. Army Chief of Staff General William C. Westmoreland:
"Whether it was leading an army into the unknown in South Asia or leading its survivors to accept their tribute at the dedication of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, General Westmoreland always stood tall, stood unafraid and stood for what he believed in," said Gov. Sanford. "He's a personal friend who's had a tremendous impact on my life, he's someone I've always looked up to and had the deepest respect for, and his loss is one that will be felt by everyone who has committed their lives to the notion of spreading freedom across the globe. I'd ask all South Carolinians and all Americans to join Jenny, the boys and I in offering our thoughts and prayers to Kitzy, their children and the many friends and family members whose lives were touched by this American hero."
