CGSC's George C. Marshall Chair of Military History, Dr. James H. Willbanks
(Lt. Col. U.S. Army, Ret.) was recently selected by the National Archives
Foundation to serve on its honorary committee to support the National Archives'
new exhibition, "Remembering Vietnam: Twelve Critical Episodes in the Vietnam
War," which opens November 10, 2017. The National Archives Foundation is a
Commemorative Partner of the U.S. Vietnam War Commemoration.
Dr. Willbanks is among the many leaders and historians who make up the
advisory committee.
"While the committee is honorary in nature, I have been working for the last
year with the archivist at the National Archives responsible for putting together
the exhibit," said Willbanks. "She [archivist] asked to interview me for the
'Voices of Vietnam' part of the exhibit. Also, I am working with the Kansas City
National Archives facility on a local exhibit on Vietnam that will open in the fall."
he added.

Johnson & Johnson Chairman/CEO addresses CGSC class
Alex Gorsky, chairman and CEO of Johnson & Johnson spoke to the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College on
Feb. 6, 2017 in Eisenhower Auditorium of the Lewis and Clark Center on Fort Leavenworth.
Gorsky is a West Point graduate who served six years, leaving active service in 1988 as a captain. The CGSC Foundation
helped coordinate Gorsky's visit to as a leadership speaker for the CGSC Guest Speaker Program and also scheduled him
to speak to SAMS students in a separate forum.
Gorsky did not deliver a formal "speech," but rather had an informal discussion format with Dr. Ted Thomas, director
of the Department of Command and Leadership, while sitting on stage. They discussed leadership issues and created a
dialogue with the students. Student feedback on his talk was overwhelmingly positive even though the format was new
and different.
