The first thought that came to my mind was Nixon...
But that's not right.
Is it?

No, Its General Anthony C. McAuliffe. (the 101st badge gives it away)

I know its correct. (I swear I didn't cheat, but I did double-check my suspicion before posting). I'm going to give you mine right away as I am going to be busy later on...

Who is this famous general? Good Luck.

I get this question a lot. I am from NYC. I fly a French flag because I work for the Paris Office of a International company.

Nope, keep trying.

It isn't an easy one, so I'll give you a hint.

This General was NOT a battlefield commander. But in 1944 he made history for something he REFUSED to do.

No, Keep trying.

A person has guessed it correctly (Kudos to him) but has asked to remain anonymous. So keep trying...
