Now, some 40 years later, recently retired Brigadier General Stitzer talks about his 40 year journey in the Air Force and the lessons he learned along the way. From the flight line and aircraft hangars, to the halls of the Pentagon, Max shares his incredible story of perseverance, family, faith, and service. Many thanks!
