"Congratulations ELFA! You've worn your years well. May the next 50 years bring forward new generations of leaders with the ELFA spirit to embrace and move the industry forward into new frontiers."

General Stanley McChrystal
Former Commander of U.S. and International Forces in Afghanistan
A one-of-a-kind commander with a remarkable record of achievement, General Stanley McChrystal is widely praised for creating a revolution in warfare that fused intelligence and operations. A four-star general, he is the former commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan and the former leader of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), which oversees the military's most sensitive forces. McChrystal's leadership of JSOC is credited with the December 2003 capture of Saddam Hussein and the June 2006 location and killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. McChrystal, a former Green Beret, is known for his candor, innovative leadership and going the distance. Called "one of America's greatest warriors" by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, few people can speak about leadership, teamwork and international affairs with as much insight as General Stanley McChrystal.
