With the recent passing of Donald Rumsfeld, we mourn the loss of
a Great American Patriot and one of the leading public servants of our time. He
was also a personal friend and a friend to Hillsdale College.
Born in Chicago and a graduate of Princeton, Don Rumsfeld served as an aviator
in the U.S. Navy before being elected to Congress four times from Illinois’s
13th congressional district. Over the course of nearly 40 years, he served in
important offices under Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and George W. Bush—including
twice as Secretary of Defense.
He was also a devoted husband and father who loved and served his family his
entire life. He and his wife Joyce married 67 years, have three children, six
grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
Secretary Rumsfeld spoke at the College and at College events on several
occasions. Below is a link to a talk he gave in 2014, entitled “Leadership
Lessons in Business, Politics, War, and Life.” It displays his well-known wit,
humor, and kindness, as well as his love for our country and its people.

Hillsdale College is an independent institution of higher learning founded in 1844 by men and women “grateful to God for the inestimable blessings” resulting from civil and religious liberty and “believing that the diffusion of learning is essential to the perpetuity of these blessings.” It pursues the stated object of the founders: “to furnish all persons who wish, irrespective of nation, color, or sex, a literary, scientific, [and] theological education” outstanding among American colleges “and to combine with this such moral and social instruction as will best develop the minds and improve the hearts of its pupils.” As a nonsectarian Christian institution, Hillsdale College maintains “by precept and example” the immemorial teachings and practices of the Christian faith.

Big Tech has greatly reduced the distribution of our stories in our readers' newsfeeds and is instead promoting mainstream media sources. When you share with your friends, however, you greatly help distribute our content. Please take a moment and consider sharing this article with your friends and family. Thank you
Please share… Like many other fact-oriented bloggers, we've been exiled from Facebook as well as other "mainstream" social sites.
We will continue to search for alternative sites, some of which have already been compromised, in order to deliver our message and urge all of those who want facts, not spin and/or censorship, to do so as well.
Keep on seeking the truth, rally your friends and family and expose as much corruption as you can… every little bit helps add pressure on the powers that are no more.
