  • As a fellow veteran, I have the deepest respect for a man who understood the weight of duty, the meaning of sacrifice, and the responsibility of leading others into harm's way. General Harrell's courage and service went far beyond the battlefield. His leadership, commitment to his men, and willingness to stand in the face of danger represent the very best of the military profession. Rest easy, General. Your service will not be forgotten, and your legacy will live on in those who continue to serve.
