Here are the words of Leon Panetta, then Director of the CIA, when awarding a star on the Wall of Honor for Greg:<br /><br /> “At age 33, a promising young officer—a leader and friend to so many—was taken from us. We find some measure of solace in knowing that Gregg achieved what he set out to do: He lived for a purpose greater than himself. Like his star on this Wall, that lesson remains with us always.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-14627659220561111062014-12-13T09:25:25.243-05:002014-12-13T09:25:25.243-05:00The Professor says:

Great trial lawyer, fierce advocate but had the kind of personality where it was never personal. <br /><br />Made the ultimate sacrifice for his country and I think it would be great if there was a plaque or something at the MJB honoring his memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-5897604009109540182014-12-12T08:34:59.120-05:002014-12-12T08:34:59.120-05:00your fear of death

While we litigated from opposite sides of the aisle, I always liked, respected, and, yes, trusted him (I felt the same way about Tannenbaum).
