More detail on this person: COL Retired JY
Hammack passed away Sunday in his sleep in
Quanah, TX. He was once the Ft Rucker Chief of
Staff and I also think he was in on the build-up
of the 1st Cav when they went to VN. MG McNair
used to talk about him when I was there in the
early 80's. JY was a throwback who rewarded
excellence regardless of the color of your bars.
If you did your job you got along with him, if
not, you didn't. This information was last updated 05/18/2016
