Memorial Day 2008-Major General Robert Bernstein

As an Army brat, I think of our fallen military men & women often. Memorial Day is a time for all of us to remember, honor and respect the memory of the men and women (and their families) who have given their lives for our freedom. I was born at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington D.C., where my father retired as a Colonel. My “proxy” grandfather, Maj. General Robert Bernstein served as WRAMC’s Commanding General from 1973~1978. He died in July 2007 at 87 years-old and I will especially be thinking of him this Memorial Day.
