He led me on a tour of the Nuclear Submarines Rhode Island and Georgia last year at King's Bay. It was an experience I will never forget. I was searching the web to find out how to pronounce Admiral Fluckey's name. I ran across this wonderful obituary celebrating a hero's life and accomplishments that embody the true American spirit. I rank him on the same level as Generals Patton and MacArthur for his intelligence, leadership and fearless personal drive in the face of "military convention". I wish every American school child and citizen could learn of this incredible human being.
