Breaking news - for anyone who is interested: Laura Bush says that she and George will be doing more public speaking after these last few months of family and relaxation. Apparently, George will be speaking with Bubba Clinton up in Canada in the very near future.

Many years on, General Rogers talked about that night in the Fishhook. He was asked by a television interviewer whether he knew fear during those desperate hours. The little General's brow knit and he hesitated a little. "No.....No. I was too busy worrying about my men."

(From To the last cartridge)

Charlie Rogers' dedication to his men and to God was proved over his lifetime.

Godspeed and God Bless Major General Charles Calvin Rogers.
