Above site reports a visit by Pace to Farinaro’s high school, and cites the circumstances of his death and it’s impact on Pace. Very worth reading.

An excerpt from the article about his visit to Farinaro’s High School:

——The lance corporal’s death also had a profound impact on the young lieutenant. “We were on patrol one day outside Da Nang, and Guido was killed by a sniper,” Pace said. “As I stayed with him, a sense of rage came through me, and as the platoon leader, I started calling an artillery strike on the village where the round had been fired.

“My platoon sergeant, who was my age – 21 or 22 — didn’t say anything at all,” Pace said. “He just looked at me. And I knew in the look that he gave me that what I was doing was wrong.” -————

General Pace in his resignation speech also humbly thanked his staff(?) sergeant and all the other sergeants all along the way for not just giving him information, but for telling him what he needed to know. (Or something like that). I wonder if that wording is referring to this incident and no doubt many others of similar nature where difficult decisions need to be made.

Thank you for the link. I’ll use it as the basis for tomorrow’s grammar lesson in my high school English class.
