Respectfully clarifying — the veteran officer was contacted several times for Infantry Day celebrations, but calls went unanswered. It’s unfortunate that this has been portrayed as lack of invitation. The Infantry deeply values every veteran’s contribution. The Western Comd is extremely proud of the revered General Officer (The ONLY ex Army Cdr whose experiences are highlighted in the recently made 1965 War Movie of Western Comd) and he is always at top of our Invitees' List.
