My friend Mark Howell, formerly of Pea Ridge and of the Rogers P.D., received the Defense Meritorious Service Medal from General Petraeus. Mark is a fine man as well as a fine soldier. He never forgets those who have helped him along the way and always gives them credit for his accomplishments. I'm proud to have mentored him when he was a lad. Here's part of what he said after receiving the award. "I have worked for many senior leaders in the Department of Defense and Gen Petraeus has no equal. We as a military and a nation are lucky to have him. And yes Virg I owe this award all to you....."
So true Mark. We're proud of you. Keep up the good work.
