Former Secretary of State, Alexander Haig, died today at the age of 85.
Among those remembering his legacy, Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said “He served his country in many capacities for many years, earning honor on the battlefield, the confidence of Presidents and Prime Ministers, and the thanks of a grateful nation.”
President Obama lauded the four-star generals public service, saying he “exemplified our finest warrior-diplomat tradition of those who dedicate their lives to public service.”
Haig, who served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations, was also remembered by Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Steele – “His years of steadfast and courageous service to America and the Republican Party should serve as an inspiration to all those interested in public service.”
