WASHINGTON, D.C. (Army News Service, May 14, 2008) - Twenty-eight
commissioned and warrant officers from the active Army, Army Reserve
and the National Guard received the 2008 General Douglas MacArthur
Leadership Award during a ceremony at the Pentagon today.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr. presented the awards and praised the Soldiers for their accomplishments.
"The common thread that binds Soldiers together, that causes men and
women to do extraordinary things, is the kind of leadership we
celebrate here today," Casey said.
The Soldiers being honored commanded multiple companies in combat, and
trained Iraqis in war, law, governance and economics, he said.

WASHINGTON (Army News Service, May 14, 2008) -- If you owned a 1978
Chevy Impala, you'll remember that it was big, powered by a
12-mile-per-gallon V-8 engine. Its advanced safety features were lap
seatbelts and drum brakes. It had a push-button radio and - if you were
lucky - an 8-track player.
Three decades later, you may be driving a crossover sport utility
vehicle powered by a 35-mile-per-gallon hybrid engine and rolling on
20-inch run-flat tires. Its advanced safety features include
voice-activated controls, a crash avoidance system, side and rear video
cameras, heads-up night vision display, a full suite of airbags and an
onboard computer connected to a communications network with GPS
technology, satellite radio and OnStar.
Basically, you have a world of information at your fingertips.
Just as the commercial market is transforming to meet personal market
demands, the Army is transforming to meet Soldiers' needs in an era of
persistent conflict.
