Ronald Reagan,
Proclamation 4832
“ With sadness, I announce the death of General of the Army Omar Nelson Bradley, who died yesterday in New York City.For sixty-nine years General Bradley wore the colors of an American soldier-with courage, integrity, professionalism and, above all, honor. Even as he rose in rank, humility never left his side. He was the "G.I.'s General" because he Was, always, a G.I.In World War II his conspicuously brilliant leadership thrust him to the top of the U.S. military command. Whether at Normandy, North Africa, or Sicily, the Bradley command always meant good fortune for freedom's defenders. ”
