More than 100 years after his great-grandfather served in a segregated Army, General Beagle leads Fort Jackson Author: Darci Strickland Updated: 7:25 PM EDT June 15, 2021
COLUMBIA, S.C. General Milford Beagle can say without question, more than 100 years ago he had a relative lay the groundwork for his success today.
His great grandfather walked through gates, of what at that time was Camp Jackson, in 1918.
Private Beagle wore his uniform in a segregated Army. He had no idea that one day that military instillation would be led by his great-grandson.
The table was set for General Beagle so, he could move forward with the same type of deliberate attention to paving a path for others.
