and colin powell broke that. and african americans who are in the military today look at him as sort of instill in -- still in awe. i remember just recently an army warrant officer telling me about how she views colin powell. there's this hallway in the e-ring of the pentagon where all of the portraits, there are portraits of all the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and you walk down this hallway. it's very impressive. it's paintings of white guy after white guy after white guy, and then you see powell. and she was describing to me stopping every time she got to the powell painting, because she felt -- and sort of exhaling and feeling like oh, yeah, i'm there. i could be this one day, too. sort of like -- it's sort of in the -- in so many other black troops and enlisted and officers, a lot of young ones today have talked to me about that, about looking at colin powell as somebody who showed them that there was a place for them in this american military. the fact that he was able to do this, to rise t

that was colin powell's determination. the power rules that if you're going to intervene, and like a lot of generals, he wanted it to be the last resort, not the first resort. but if you are, you want to do it decisively and with overwhelming force. if you look back at the first gulf war, it certainly would happen. he bridge that gap. i think that, writing his memoirs, he's talking about his early stint in vietnam, when he sang along with the vietnamese troops, the song el paso by marty robbins. and then he went back for a summit as secretary of state in 2021 in hanoi and sang a version of it there. this is just a very important figure in the transition of our military, from a demoralized post-vietnam military to a revived military after that. he played an enormous role in that. you can see, this is an expression of love for colin powell. he brings together a lot of americans who honor this life of service. genuine service to the country. service above self. >> harris: amen to that. you talk about, i thought that was just

and they're wheeling out alma powell, widow of general colin powell. she is recovering from covid herself. although her illness was not as severe obviously as her late husband's. one could not help but be moved by so much of the ceremony, but really michael powell, general powell's only son, and his voice cracking and the love and admiration he felt for his father so clear. he really, i think, was the most compelling speaker of the day. >> i absolutely agree. it is a beautiful ceremony but the words of michael powell brought home the man colin powell was when the uniform came off. he talks about he grew up under the stars but then doesn't mention that part of his life. only talks about dad. and that is one of the most under-appreciated part of american military strength is the military family and to have his son be able to eulogize him and to have his grandkids present is a testament to the strength that those who serves are often families and the sacrifices that those families make. every promotion is a family disruption. every move is a disruption fo

pain, and colin powell held his son, michael's, hand. he remembers the love in that moment, and he brought it full-circle to the end of his father's life, where he held his hand and felt that same love as he breathed his last breath. >> you know, so many political leaders, and the superstars in washington, when you peel back the onion, you realize they don't have your happy homes, and a not very good parents, and then have a good spouses. but colin powell was. and he was a good friend to people. i remember being in his office the day his son, michael powell, who was in the military and looking forward to a great long career in the army, had an accident. the jeep that he was in overturned, and nobody knew if he was going to live. nobody knew that he was ever going to walk again. i remember colin saying, "you know, i'm not going to rush to his side. i'm going to let the people in charge of him do their job. i know they'll do it well, but i'll be there for him when he needs me." timmy, again, these averages we kind of forget about today. i

he had revolvers, colin powell had adding machines. zest for life derived for his endless passion for people, he is genuinely interested in everyone he met.er he loved hotdogs, i think keller, a janitor in a student is any much world leader. not long ago he was driving his corvette and got a flat tire. a young disabled veteran saw him and pulled over to help. with the tire fixed, the young that sheepishly asked if he could take a selfie. my dad took time to ask about his family and his friends and his life, something no instagram moment of her and cover. a few days later to thank him for his help, my father invited the vet and his entire family over to the house for dinner. colin powell was a great leader because he is a great follower. he knew you couldr. not ask your troops to do anything you are unwilling to do yourself. one time i was walking into the px with my dad, we came upon a corporal slaney a captain over and over again. my father walked up and asked the captain what he was doing. the captain replied, sir, the corporal faile
