I was colonel for a year when i taught at the citadel, but today i went to say that im so pleased that were witnessing a great reunion a great kind of reckoning coming up against we have been meeting virtually for the past few months, but isnt it great to be back in person and have an afternoon where we explore such wonderful topics as race and lincoln and leadership in lincoln.
