Be Thou At Peace

| It was my privilege to serve as (then) Colonel Rudy Wacker's Executive Officer when he was Commander of the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing at RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge, England, in 1978-79. He was the model commanding officer: distinguished in appearance; charismatic in authority; sweeping in his knowledge of this huge Wing (world's largest), its facilities, and people; and an excellent representative of our country to our British hosts. I watched him earn and then pin on his BG star, and felt then, as I do now, that he was one of the finest officers I have ever known. |
