Title

Mike Weaver for Congress 2006

Description

In 1962, Wes Clark was admitted to the United States Military Academy and began a 38-year career of public service in the United States Army, where he became a four-star general, a trainer of soldiers, a leader of troops, equally accomplished in war and in peace.

When thousands of Americans launched a campaign in early 2003 to draft General Clark to run for President, he consulted a minister friend, who told him: "The right job for you is where the world's deepest need meets your heart's greatest gladness." General Clark has said: "My heart's greatest gladness has always been answering the call and defending the country."

Wes Clark was born in Chicago in December 1944, the only child of Veneta and Benjamin Kanne. His father -- a prosecutor, democratic politician and World War I veteran -- died when Wes was a young child. He and his mother then moved to Little Rock, where they lived in a rented house with his grandparents while his mother got a job as a secretary in a bank. Using his father's deceased veterans benefits, they bought a small house where Wes grew up and became a star swimmer and top student at Little Rock's Hall High School. In 1954, his mother married Victor Clark, who became Wes's stepfather.
