About a year or two ago I was sitting behind my table at The Tennessee Military Collectors Association Show talking to my good friend Carl Vencil (SF/SOG) when I made contact with a gentleman walking down the aisle. He then looked away leaving me to try and figure out who I was looking at. When bam it hit me. It was Gen. Singlaub. I went kinda crazy and said Carl! That is Gen. Singlaub. He asked if I was sure and I said, positive. Then Singlaub turned his head and Carl saw that it was and he jumped up to go visit with an old friend. Carl introduced me to the General. I couldn't believe I was standing with such an American fighting man. We visited for a while and even came back to the table and signed a book for me. I know this isn't relevant to the conversation but just wanted to toss it out there. The Gen. had family in Franklin, TN and had moved there to be close to them. What a man he is!
