His actions as an undercover agent for a national crime fighting agency are mentioned. He explains why he expedited a contract award for 2,000 radar locator systems, (AN/APR-39), then had them installed in Army helicopters before the possible start of World War III. An invitation to visit the White House then a productive outcome as a result of that meeting. A second invitation when his daughter was a White House volunteer. His trip to Thailand to evaluate the USAF latest radar warning receiver for possible use on Army fixed wing aircraft. He explains why he was not allow to deplane after landing in Vietnam. His proposal for a barrier on the Mexican border. A few stories about his son Colonel John (Jay) Waters. One includes Jay's story about when he was on the general's staff in Afghanistan. The unique action taken by their general that stopped the mortar firings into Bagram Army base. A story about his friend Leonard Lomell, who a historian called the person most responsible for the success in the D-Day invasion. Second only to General Eisenhower. A ten-day visit to the Normandy beaches and cemeteries with Jay when he was the military head of Arlington National Cemetery and all world-wide Army cemeteries. Nap-of-the-Earth flight tests while flying over the Chesapeake Bay. My pilot was a POW in North Vietnam. What he told me about Jane Fonda. A flight test across the Fulda Gap in Germany to detect enemy radars. What his pilot told him about a young couple who tried to cross the border. Then a flight test along the DMZ in North Korea and a special test in England against a new radar. A report about a helicopter unable to return to the airport due to a dense fog. How his on board radar locator assisted the pilot to return to the airport. When Ayatollah Khomeini became the ruler of Iran, students attacked the American Embassy. They held many Americans prisoners. We attempted a rescue mission, but two of our aircrafts collided in the Iranian desert and the mission was aborted. The world knew about that failed mission, but the world never knew about the second United States rescue mission. He was a technical advisor for the second rescue mission.
