Schwarzkopf is a much-decorated Army hero who was the battlefield commander during the Persian Gulf War. He retired after the war, and has plunged into civic and charitable activities as well as the speaker circuit. The center has had extraodinary success in bringing prominent inspirational speakers to El Paso as part of its fundraising efforts. Others have included included Mario Cuomo, retired Gen. Colin Powell, Mickhail Gobachev and, last year, Christopher Reeve. Organizers declined to put a price tag on Schwarzkopf's visit.
