Minneapolis, MN. The CMP Board of Directors honored its retiring Inspector General, Brigadier General Wallace Green (ANG, Ret.), when it met in Minneapolis, Minnesota on 13 October 2006. General Green began serving as one of the CMP Board’s two Inspector Generals in 1996, shortly after Congress privatized the Civilian Marksmanship Program. After serving in this position for ten years, General Green recently submitted his resignation so that he could spend more time pursuing family and other retirement interests.

The honors paid to General Green included a special tribute for his service to his country and to the CMP that was given by his Inspector General colleague, BG Richard Capps (ARNG, Ret.), who retired as a CMP Inspector General in December 2004. CMP Board Chairman Charlie Maddox presented General Green with an engraved M1 Carbine as a thank-you gift from the CMP.

General Green began his military career in 1957 as an Air Force pilot. He served in a series of Air Force and Air National Guard assignments until he became the Assistant Adjutant General, Air, in the Florida National Guard. Subsequent to his retirement from the National Guard, he was appointed as a CMP Inspector General. During his tenure as a CMP Inspector General, he completed numerous assignments to inspect affiliated CMP clubs and to carry out CMP internal audits. He also represented the CMP at numerous events.

The CMP Board and staff express their sincere thanks to General Green and wish him, his wife Shirley and their family the very best in all that they do.
