Statement from Newt Gingrich on the Passing of General Alexander Haig

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Callista and I join many Americans in paying tribute to General Alexander Haig. He was a deeply committed, passionate patriot of enormous experience. He served America in war and peace with enormous courage and gallantry in the Army, at NATO, in the White House and as Secretary of State.

When I worked on a problem with General Haig, I knew we were going to have a tough minded, intellectually brilliant and well honed mind helping solve the problem.

He will be deeply missed.
