I'm just accepting it for them. Without them, I wouldn't have won. The movement of U.S. service members into Bosnia-Herzegovina shows how fast Americans can move when needed. As soon as Bosnian, Serbian and Croatian leaders signed the peace accord, U.S. forces were ready to cross the Hungarian border and move on to their peace implementation mission. Yet, before peacekeepers crossed into Bosnia, unit commanders were ensuring their service members had their legal affairs in order.
People never know when something like Bosnia is going to happen.
Our hope is that everyone has his or her legal affairs in order. Defense officials said they can't legally force members to complete wills. However, Falk emphasizes that all military members should establish wills and powers of attorney. There are car payments, personal property and a variety of other items that a will or power of attorney can handle. Howard Nollenberger, legal assistance chief for the Army's Military District of Washington, agreed that all service members should have a will.
