  • On Thursday, February 28th, the West Point Band performed the full military funeral honoring Gen. (ret.) H. Norman Schwarzkopf at the U.S. Military Academy. Gen. Schwarzkopf, Class of 1956, served as Commander of U.S. Central Command and as such, was the commander of coalition forces during the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991). He retired from the U.S. Army in August of 1991 and since became known for his charity and community service. Gen. Schwarzkopf passed away on December 27th, 2012.

I would also ask that all negative comments be kept out of funeral service videos or videos here on CZcams that are in support of our great country and service men and women! Thank You.

      I was a little 18 year old. Now I'm a 48 year old grandfather whose is almost as close to 70 as 30.

      @walter cuperidge Those were moved to Syria during the build up of coalition forces. Assad used them to gas his own people. Saddam had created a major threat in the region to neighboring countries and instability in the whole region. Which would of affected us and most of the rest of the world eventually. And finally, he illegally invaded Kuwait, so he could control and have direct access to the sea for his oil production. Kuwait asked for help from the world including us, not to mention threatened our ally Israel. How's that for starters?

    My earliest hero. I was only 7 when Desert Storm broke out. I was so scared. I remember my mother crying hearing the first gunfire on TV.
    Despite my young age, I was very perceptive. General Schwarzkopf was talked about much and I looked up to him and trusted him to protect our country. So when I heard those first shots, as my mother cried, I knew we would be ok.

    I was honored to be on his aircrew when he was the CINC of Central Command. When it was time for fun, he was the best but when time to be serious, he was that. He made sure we were taken care of and made sure his troops were protected and taken care of during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. His wife, Brenda, we used to call her Mom for she made sure we had cookies, candy, and other things for our TDY's to the MidEast. One time she told me not to let Norm have anything out of the snacks for he was on a diet. I said ok and once he tried to sneak some cookies out of a bag. I caught him and told him that Mom said he couldn't have this type snack. He looked at me like a sad puppy and yes, I let him have some cookies. He had a patch on his flight suit that no one else had and I begged him for 2 years to let me have it. On his farewell tour, he gave it to me and I still cherish it. A great man and I am so honored to have known him and be on his aircrew for 3 years. God Bless General and Rest In Peace.

    Britain rightfully honoured this great military man by knighting him. So technically he was General Sir H. Norman Schwarzkopf KCB. Because he is not a British subject, General Schwarzkopf did not have to kneel and be tapped on the shoulder by Queen Elizabeth II when he was knighted. The Queen simply handed him a box containing the cross and silver star of the Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath. He was only the ninth US military so honoured. And truly deserved.

      Elizabeth II honorablely knighted both Gen. Schwarzkoph and Powell. But because neither is a British Subject, the 'sir' is only for that day.
      According to British Laws, and the Queen, only those born in Great Britain, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, New Zealand can be knighted/damed with the OBE.

      Not quite correct my friend. They would not use the title 'Sir' or 'Dame' as they are not British Subjects and have no allegiance to Her Majesty but they do retain the Letters KCB after the name. There are different Knights Garter but I am afraid the OBE is not one. That is the Order of the British Empire.

      That rank is in abeyance. When it was created, Congress specified the sailors and soldiers to be promoted. The subsequent promotions of Bradley and Halsey, plus the creation of a new rank for Arnold, also required Congressional approval. There is also the issue that creation of just one 0-11 would change our command structure enormously.

    As an aside, for those of you who either did or didn’t notice the uniforms of the New Jersey State Police, what an awesome show of respect. General Schwarzkopf’s father was the first Superintendent of the NJSP, seems like they too remember absent companions and came to show their respect and gratitude to both Senior and Junior Schwarzkopf’s.
