Harry Kinnard
Harry William Osborne Kinnard II (May 7, 1915 – January 5, 2009) was an American general officer who, during the Vietnam War, pioneered the airmobile concept of sending troops into battle using helicopters. Kinnard retired from the military as a Lieutenant General.
Kinnard grew up in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1939, he entered military service.〔Goldstein, Richard. ("Harry W. O. Kinnard, Who Said One Word Would Do, Dies at 93" ), ''The New York Times'', January 10, 2009. Accessed January 20. 2009.〕

On December 7, 1941, Kinnard was stationed at Pearl Harbor, and manned a machine gun to defend the base on the morning of the Japanese attack.〔Downey, Kristin. ("Multi-War Veteran Under Siege As Sewage Plant Din Roars On" ), ''The Washington Post'', August 19, 2007. Accessed January 11, 2009.〕
He parachuted into France in the early hours of the Normandy Landings in June 1944, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his heroism during Operation Market Garden, as part of the Allied airborne attack against German forces in the Netherlands in September 1944.〔
