14 Apr - Honolulu, Plaza Club. - Lt. Gen. Benjamin R. Mixon, US Army, Pacific Commander, addresses approx. 30 leaders of the Pacific Asian affairs Council at a luncheon in downtown Honolulu. He updated the leaders on a variety of topics including Pacific AOR-wide military issues, recruiting and retention, the Army's economic impact, as well as other national security topics of interest.

I have had the honor of knowing LTG Mixon since 1984 when he was a Captain and in Command of C Co., 3rd Ranger Battalion. I later served with Major (P) Mixon in Italy, and was on present for his promotion ceremony to LTC. Off and on, I've managed to keep up with this officer, and watch him rise through the ranks, and all the while, he has maintained close understanding of the soldiers and Noncommissioned Officers and their families regardless of his rank, and duty assignment. This LTG is a soldiers General Officer, and I for one, and proud to say that I've known him and served with him. Thanks: Joe Mattison, CSM (R) jjmattison@verizon.net in Wellsville NY
