He was a Lt. Col. My dad has spoken to me about that but I don't remember the details of everything he said.Warren Giles (who started off as an enlisted man in Athens) eventually ended up a Brigadere General.

Although I personally don't think Nathan Beford Forrest belongs on that list. :rolleyes: |
