Pictures of General Norman Schwarzkopf which I took during his book signing in San Diego.

He wears a Rolex, am I correct ? None in the photos, though...

Stormin' Norman! Nice, Faith.

Faith was that in the early 1990's??

Great book. I always enjoyed his briefings during the Gulf war. I still remember him pointing out his equivalent in the Iraqi army headquarters and then promptly showing it being blown up.

One other bit of trivia. His father worked for the NJ State Police and assisted with the Lindbergh Kidnapping case.

Schwarzkopf and I have something in common. We both attended Valley Forge Military Acadamy & Junior College. Any other TRF members attend VFMA?

I have no idea. In fact, I borrowed the camera from a friend (and couldn't tell you the brand of that either.) Just luck I guess!

He actually started the NJSP back in 1921.

Awesome! My dad recorded all of the newscast when I was in the gulf and I remember distinctly one of his most famous lines. He was talking about the number of dead soldiers in the ground war and said it was almost miraculous, then caught himself and said it will never be miraculous for the families of those soldiers who died.
