Lt. General Anne E. Dunwoody of the Army has been nominated to become the first female four star general. General Dunwoody has 33 years of service ( 1975) and has had a number of command positions.
If confirmed by the Senate, she will be the first woman to gain a fourth star ( the first female 3 star general was in 1970). In the armed forces of the United States there are currently 57 active duty female general officers.
Good Luck and hopefully congratulations to General Dunwoody.

Okay, I have a tendency to give unwanted and unneeded advice… but this isn’t one of those times.
The movie “Bucket list” and the book by the same name is interesting in that they ask the question,” if you knew you only had so much time left in your life, would you do anything different today?” The book explores the ‘Bucket Lists’ of ordinary and extraordinary people. Young folks have accomplishment goals… while, older people have certain housekeeping issues that they want to finish in their lives… but everyone has something… even if it is only perfecting a golf swing.
One blog was even betting as to which of the two actors would ‘kick the bucket’ first… charming.
I guess the best advice I ever heard on this subject… was given to me as a young paperboy by a kindly old gent of 103 : ” I live and enjoy today , but keep an eye on tomorrow in case I am not lucky enough to die in my sleep.”
