[@GJones462-2W1]

I never met him, but I served under his command during Desert Storm. Your troops sure loved you, General. Rest in Peace.

Desert Storm wasnt even a real war. You got off easy....😂😂😂

[@jyddentz]

I was honored to be on his aircrew that flew him all over the Middle East. A great man, a great hero. I used to call his wife Brenda Mom cause she treated us aircrew members like we were her own children. Rest in Peace General and God Bless.

1:48 when the little man returns the salute.... My heart dropped.

[@brokenbones827]

little late to this but you can tell he will be an amazing citizen

[@dallasyap3064]

[@jasz125]

I had to replay a couple of times when the little guy returned back with a snappy salute. Amazing kid! I am assuming he is the grandson of Gen. Schwarzkopf and I'm sure the great General was smiling and beaming with pride.

[@james09995]

That was a killer moment!

Served under the General during Desert Storm/Shield. Everyone loved him. Never heard anyone say anything bad about him. HE LOVED SOLDIERS! More than anything. You felt that from him to. RIP General.

[@saburusakai]

Thanx General, for taking care of your troops, including a close 19 yr old friend of mine, Carla Ramsey of the 24th infantry Div. Your contribution is indescribable. Salute sir.

[@randallgaddy2591]

Taking care ??? More like 1000 bull crap missions for the crown 👑

[@joenop3393]

1:48 Normans Grandson returns the salute......Beautiful!! I served under General Schwarzkopf at CENTCOM at MacDill AFB. You could always feel his presence in a room or on an Aircraft. The best General America may have ever had.

[@samanthasays3603]

RIP, General. There will never be a man as brave or has loved our country as much as you did. ❤ Rest easy, Sir....until we meet, Godspeed.

I purchased his autobiography for my husband, but ended up reading it for myself. Interesting life. Good man.

[@harleygrit5210]

I was lucky enough to have him sign my copy in 1996

[@ilttpvvm]

Someone once said, "Don't try to be a great man--just be a man. Let history make its own judgment." Norman Schwarzkopf was certainly a good man--his greatness was just icing on the cake. Farewell, gallant warrior--you will be missed.

[@neilkruse835]

That's rhetorical nonsense...... who said that?

[@lostsoul3154]

He took over my battalion long after I finished my tour in 'Nam. From what I've read, he shaped up the unit -- badly needed when I left in June '69.

I arrived at FT Lewis Wa in March of 1978 and was assigned to HHC 2nd BN 39TH Infantry, 1st Brigade known as the " Recondo Brigade " and Col. Swartzkopk was my Brigade cmdr. Shortly thereafter he was promoted to Brigadier General, and there was a Bgde formation/ parade to welcome the new Bgde cmdr and Swarzkopf would go become a 4 star Gen. I was apart of my BN color guard detail at that event. I'm proud to served under him, he was the type of man that was well liked and RESPECTED by ALL.

Proud to have served under this Great General during operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm 1990/91, as a US Sailor aboard USS Saratoga (CV-60), He was the right General at the right time.

[@davesouthwick970]

I was a relatively young veteran of the Angolan War during Desert Shield & followed the campaign with keen interest & more than a little nostalgia. I was initially impressed by the the political insight & military strategy of the preparation of the operation, & subsequently by the strategic & tactical leadership & execution by all involved, down to the last soldier of all nations, ranks & races. General Schwartzkop was an officer & general of the highest order & this ageing mechanized infantryman salutes him.

[@CantateDomino373]

The kid salutes at 1:48. Deja vu? John F. Kennedy's funeral?

[@saburusakai]

yeah, I noticed htat. His grandson I presume. I saw JFK's son do that as it occurred when I was 7.

It was an honor to serve under him. A soldier's soldier that put his men first in all things. The reason Desert Storm was so short was because he refused to accept the politicians' suggestions/demands and made sure an overwhelming force ended the conflict as quickly as possible. He saved so many lives. Rest in Peace General!
