President. General Powells rise to the highest military leadership position in the Nation is a reflection of the American dream. His parents were Jamaican immigrants and he grew up in the buroughs of New York. He graduated. not from West Point. which has been the traditional school for those who reach flag rank. but from City College of New York and was commissioned through the ROTC Program. His military career took him from the plains of Europe. where he faced the might of the Warsaw Pact. to the jungles of Vietnam. and then finally to the inner sanctum of the White House.
