Morris County Observes Veterans Day 2021

“We can think of no person who better encapsulated that basic creed of duty, honor, country than General Ray Odierno. He made our entire nation better, stronger, and more secure,” said President Joseph Biden, who also called him a national “hero.”

The Governor referred to the general as “a great solider.”

He was hailed as both a great hero and solider during a public ceremony in the public meeting room of the Morris County Board of County Commissioners on Nov. 10, 2021, where he also was honored as a “local hero.”

The Commissioners presented framed resolutions to both Rockaway Borough Mayor Thomas Mulligan and Col. Jeff Cantor, who served with the general. The resolutions honored the general “for his dedicated service to the citizens of the United States.”

State Sen. Anthony M. Bucco, on behalf of himself and Assembly Members Aura Dunn and Brian Bergen, presented the Mayor with a Joint Legislative Resolution honoring Gen. Odierno.

“Be is resolved by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New jersey, that this Legislature hereby salutes the late General Raymond T. Odierno and extends profound sympathy and sincere condolences to all who mourn him,” the resolution stated.

The office of U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill also presented a notice of Congressional Record Entry on the general’s service and passing.

Gen. Odierno had a decorated military career that stretched nearly four decades.

He grew up in Rockaway Borough, where he attended local schools and graduated Morris Hills High School prior to attending the United States Military Academy at West Point. As his military career skyrocketed, he never forgot his roots.

“In past years, when the General visited the town, he always had time for the residents, and he visited the schools he attended to interact with the students. His presence was larger than life in Rockaway Borough,” said Mayor Mulligan.

Among his many accomplishments, Gen. Odierno is known for his leadership role in conducting a troop surge in Iraq that slowed heavy sectarian violence in the war-torn nation.  It was in 2007, when then-President George W. Bush approved increasing troops in Iraq by 20,000 to quell the violence that followed the toppling of Saddam Hussein.

Gen. David H. Petraeus was named the new top commander in Iraq and Gen. Odierno was the number two military officer in charge of the operation.

“Ray Odierno — the Big O to his many admirers and I am among them — was a truly extraordinary leader, soldier, and human being,” Gen. Petraeus said.

During the course of his career, Gen. Odierno commanded forces in the United States, Europe and the Middle East. He served three tours of duty in Iraq from 2003 to 2010, rising to become chief commander of all allied forces in the country. Earlier during Operation Iraqi Freedom, he commanded the 4th Infantry Division, which is credited for the military operation that led to the capture of Saddam Hussein.

Gen. Odierno received his fourth star in 2008 and replaced Gen. Petraeus as chief commander of the multinational force in Iraq.

During his career, he was the primary military advisor to Secretaries of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.

Gen. Odierno retired in 2015, after which he founded the consulting firm Odierno Associates and was living in Pinehurst, N.C.

Gen. Odierno was survived at the time of his death by his wife of 45 years, Linda, three children - including retired Army Capt. Tony Odierno, a combat veteran – and four grandchildren.
