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
