Retired General Wesley Clark with VAMC.com employees Jay and Chris
Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former presidential candidate and NATO Supreme Allied Commander, was in St. Louis on Tuesday for a political fundraiser. Proudly sporting their You Served T-shirts, VA Mortgage Center.com employees Chris Birk, left, and Jay Buerck, right, got a chance to snap a picture with the 65-year-old four-star general.
Gen. Clark spoke on behalf of another former soldier, 11-year Army veteran Tommy Sowers, the Democratic candidate for Missouri’s 8th Congressional District. Sowers, who is running against incumbent U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, deployed to Kosovo on peacekeeping missions and later had two deployments to Iraq, conducting an array of counterinsurgency operations.
Chris, I’m so disappointed you are not wearing your hipster glasses!
That’s pretty cool you guys got to meet him.

I’m not a Wesley Clark by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s cool ya’ll got to meet. I met him for the release of “This Is Our War: A Soldier’s Portfolio” in which I had some of my war photos published. He’s a nice guy, but his politics make me quiver in anger.
