General Colin Powell Distinguished Speaker!

2009 Nov 3 Posted by Charles

I was quite honored to have had the opportunity to meet General Colin Powell after he delivered a dynamic and inspiring keynote speech at Capella’s Virginia colloquium earlier this month.

While the General spoke of his vast and varied experiences in leadership, government and public service, I was particularly moved to personally witness the great care and compassion that the General has for our soldiers – especially for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The General was discussing some of his philanthropic work focused on the Viet-Nam Memorial and the passion, dedication and commitment that he felt for those lost was clearly visible. The General is working to help preserve the thousands of personal items left by families at the Memorial in honor of their loved ones. He wants to make sure that those soldiers are never forgotten.

For me, and I am sure for many Americans, General Powell epitomizes leadership and distinction.

Please look at the video segment and I hope that you will share your comments.
