Appropriately, the symposium was held in Gen. James Van Fleet Hall on campus. The hall and the chapter were named in honor of the Floridian who was the 8th U.S. Army Commander during the Korean War, served two tours as a PMS at Florida, and was the “Gators‘“ head football coach. The veterans began with a brief overview of the Korean War. Then, each one shared his wartime experiences with this group of future veterans. Most of the young men and women in this senior class were commissioned as U.S. Army 2nd lieutenants on 30 April 2010. LTC Michael Reichard (ret), University of Florida, Army ROTC, P.O.
