I agree.GENERAL BARON ron erickson 10/31 Brig. Gen, Charles Baron, U. S. Army Reserve, (Ret.), and a Sands Hotel executive, said yesterday that burning of draft cards is a ndisgusting act by irresponsible people.fl Baron, who has served twenty-eight years on active and reserve duty, termed the participants a complete disgrace. 11 These men are a disgrace to the flag, community, family, country and to the memory of men who have gone on before them and died to preserve the life and liberty we now enjoy,lf Baron said. "Any man who has the opportunity to serve his country and wear the uniform of any branch of the Armed Forces should do so with pride and dignity. There is no greater honor than serving your nation in a time of need." Baron said a statement by the late Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., expressed his beliefs. The quote reads: flI think that as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the actions and passions of his time, at peril of being judged not to have lived." Baron said he believed that any individual who has not answered his country1 s call has not lived at all. He noted that the same people who ignore the request of their country are still expectant of the benefits and freedom earned by others. As an officer, Baron holds five battle stars, the brown star and served throughout the European Theater. He is a graduate of the U. S. Army Commanders Staff College and the U. S. Army Ordinance School for ranking officers.
