Statement by Secretary Panetta on the Passing of General Norman Schwarzkopf

 


The men and women of the Department of Defense join me in mourning the loss of General Norman Schwarzkopf, whose 35 years of service in uniform left an indelible imprint on the United States military and on the country. The son of a decorated Army officer, General Schwarzkopf followed his father’s legacy of service by enrolling in West Point in the 1950s. His bravery during two tours in Vietnam earned him three silver stars, and set him on the path lead our troops into battle in Grenada, and then to take charge of the overall allied effort in the first Gulf War as Commander of United States Central Command. General Schwarzkopf’s skilled leadership of that campaign liberated the Kuwaiti people and produced a decisive victory for the allied coalition. In the aftermath of that war, General Schwarzkopf was justly recognized as a brilliant strategist and inspiring leader. Today, we recall that enduring legacy and remember him as one of the great military giants of the 20th century. My thoughts and prayers are with the Schwarzkopf family in this time of sadness and grief.

(December 24, 2012)GallowayTwpNews.com has been sold to another Publisher. The website which was launched in October 2011 by Harry B. Scheeler Jr. has exposed unethical conduct by multiple officials and irregularities in regular day-to-day operations. Through Open Public Records Act requests, tips, sources and Township employees, we were able to report with such pin point accuracy and become a Watch Dog Website on Galloway Township.

Over the past couple months, GallowayTwpNews has been approached by multiple individuals and one company interested in purchasing this website. With the amount of passion and work GallowayTwpNews.comhas put forth, it was a struggle to decide whether to end our open government crusade with Galloway Township.

North Carolina\’s Quick Pass and E-ZPass Now Function as One

Beginning January 3, 2013 drivers with an E-ZPass or hard case NC Quick Pass can travel in all E-ZPass states and North Carolina using their prepaid electronic toll collection account.

\”This is an exciting day for travelers within the 15 state E-ZPass region and a monumental business agreement for the tolling industry,\” said E-ZPass Group\’s Executive Director PJ Wilkins.

\”NC Quick Pass customers who have hard case transponders can now travel from North Carolina to Maine, or west to Illinois, utilizing the convenience of all electronic tolling,\” said NC Turnpike Authority Executive Director, David Joyner.

Toll technology has come a long way since the start of electronic toll collection. NCTA procured technology that is compatible with other tolling programs. NCTA started discussions with E-ZPass since they are the largest tolling program in the US. Through efforts from E-ZPass agencies and NCTA, they were able to develop an Agreement that now provides customers with the convenience of utilizing E-ZPass and NC Quick Pass.

\”I am very proud that North Carolina is the first state to implement an agreement of this kind with E-ZPass. This allows our customers the freedom to travel on many tolling facilities with the same ease as traveling at home,\” said NC Secretary of Transportation Gene Conti. \”We hope that other states will join as well so that all US drivers can share in this convenience.\”

For details on the ability to utilize your E-ZPass or NC Quick Pass, visit either website atwww.e-zpassiag.com or www.ncquickpass.com or call a customer service center.

Teacher-Student Relationships

One key life lesson that Paul and Grace never forgot is the strong relationship between a teacher and a student, and the influence that relationship has on a young person’s life. Both Paul and Grace never forgot the dedicated teachers who guided them through their scholastic careers.
