Anyone know of this guy?

"Nicholson was nominated by President Bush in December to replace Anthony Principi as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The VA has more than 230,000 employees and is the nation’s second largest federal agency.

For the past three years Nicholson has served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican. He is a graduate of West Point and served 8 years as an Army Ranger. In Vietnam he earned the Bronze Star Medal, the Combat Infantry Badge, the Meritorious Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, the Vietnamese Cross for Gallantry and two Air Medals. "



I might have to send an email to my new boss :twisted:
