Retired Gen. Gordon Sullivan, the 32nd Army chief of staff and former president and CEO of the Association of the U.S. Army, was laid to rest May 10 at Arlington National Cemetery.
Sullivan died Jan. 2. He was 86.
Speaking during the service in Memorial Chapel at Fort Myer, Virginia, Mark Sullivan summed up his father in three words: “Great American soldier.”
“That’s what he was,” Mark Sullivan said. “If you take it all away—the rank, the awards—what we have is the heart and soul of a great citizen, a great servant, a great soldier.”
