We lost a great American yesterday morning.

[Coffee or Die] Maj. Gen. Gary Harrell, a legendary Delta Force leader, is being remembered as a quiet professional who lived a daring life of service and sacrifice during America’s shadow wars.

The retired two-star Green Beret general died early on Valentine’s Day in Johnson City, Tennessee, following a long battle with glioblastoma brain cancer.

He was 71 and had hunted Colombian cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar, led an operation to free an American hostage from a Panamanian prison, and battled the nation’s enemies in Grenada, the Gulf War, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan during three decades of service.

"He was a strong, Christian patriot who loved his country and would’ve done anything for his country, until the day he died," his wife, Jennifer "Jenny" Harrell, told Coffee or Die on Tuesday. "That was foremost to him. He loved his military service, every minute of it."

#2 Note: So for those that did not work with SFOD-D can understand my comment. There is a memorial wall that was dedicated to the fallen, and their names are on it to be quietly and proudly remembered.

A loved and famous movie star even help fund it, as I was told by my military liaison.

#3 I thought that might be it from context, NN2N1, but appreciate the explanation.
