In a career spanning over 30 years, Robert T. Clark has consistently displayed that uncommon courage and leadership he showed on the battlefield in Vietnam. He has earned the admiration of all who know him, both in and outside of military life. GEN John Wickham, former Chief of Staff of the Army, says General Clark is unequivocally "one of the most ethical, moral, people-oriented and charismatic leaders I have ever known." GEN John Keane, whom the senior Senator from Massachusetts so lavishly praised earlier, calls General Clark "a man of great character. He's a great moral force and a very compassionate person. Simply stated, he's one of the Army's very best leaders." Those are the words of GEN John Keane. It is my honor to rise today and support this nomination of this outstanding soldier. General Clark has earned numerous awards for his extraordinary service, including four awards of the Legion of Merit, three Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart medal, four meritorious service medals, the Air Medal, the Air Commendation Medal, and numerous campaign service medals for service in Vietnam as well as Saudi Arabia.
