Colin+Powell


 * COLIN POWELL**

Colin Powell entered the U.S army as a 2nd lieutenant on his graduation from City College in 1958. Powell was one of the 1st American military advisers sent to Vietnam. Powell was born April 5th 1937 in Bronx, New York. In 1981 he was promoted to brigadier general. In 1987 he was named national security assistant by President Ronald Reagan who also awarded Powell his 4th general’s star. After the 9/11/01 terrorist attack on the United States U.S secretary of state.  Powell gained the support of most world leaders in the war of terrorism. After the united states and it’s allies ousted Hussein in April, 2003, Powell tried to persuade the united nations to send troops and money to help stabilize the country. The thing that makes him interesting to me is how he was the 1st american adviser in vietnam, and he was a lieutenant.
