Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa to Walker Report Readers

Mea Culpa to the Walker Report Readers for a mis-communication breakdown that allowed a posting earlier today that many would consider a personal attack.

Here at Walker Report we pride ourselves on our ability to maintain a family values standard with quality photos and comments that reflect the positives of the Alamo City and all of its residents. Somehow we fell miserably short today and didn't live up to our own self-imposed standard and we humbly apologize for it.

We make no excuses, but we do ask for forgiveness. We do make mistakes, but hopefully when we do, we admit it, learn from it and become better for it.

As Publisher & Editor, I take full responsibility for the mishap and promise to do a better job ensuring that it does not happen again.

Senator Hillary Clinton today is proud to announce that General Henry Hugh Shelton has endorsed her to be the Nation’s next Commander-in-Chief

One of our nation’s top military figures, General Shelton served two terms as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush.

In announcing his endorsement, General Shelton said, "I’ve been with Senator Clinton when she has been with our military men and women. I know from those experiences that she understands the demands and sacrifice of military life. I am confident she will always put the readiness and well being of our troops first. She is ready to be Commander-in-Chief."

General Shelton joins General John Shalikashvili as the second former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to have endorsed Senator Clinton. General Shelton is the fourth flag officer to endorse Senator Clinton this week.

The first Green Beret to serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Shelton served our Nation with distinction over a career that spanned 38 years. General Shelton served two tours of duty in Vietnam, and was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. He was assistant commander of the 101st Airborne Division during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq, and later commanded the 82nd Airborne Division. Prior to serving as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Shelton commanded U.S. Special Operations Forces. He served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the nation’s highest ranking military office, from 1997-2001.

General Shelton joins a distinguished group of 28 retired flag officers who have endorsed Senator Clinton to be our nation’s next Commander-in-Chief. In addition, more than 2,000 veterans and military retirees are members of Senator Clinton's national and state veterans’ steering committees.

"I am so proud to have the endorsement of General Shelton. He has spent his career commanding our country’s elite military units. He commanded at the highest level of our nation’s armed forces, while always remaining dedicated to the effectiveness of their combat capabilities and the well-being of their families."
