Wikipedia says, “Wesley Kanne Clark (born December 23, 1944) is a retired four-star general of the United States Army. Clark was valedictorian of his class at West Point, was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to the University of Oxford where he obtained a degree in PPE, and later graduated from the Command and General Staff College with a master’s degree in military science. He spent 34 years in the Army and the Department of Defense, receiving many military decorations, several honorary knighthoods, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.

While perusing youtube I came across an old video of someone discussing how important his mother was in keeping him in line and making him a good person. I hope someday my children will see this and remember that even though I was hard on them, from time-to-time, I love them. Who knows! Maybe my children will tell a similar story when they are older!!!
