A story is told about General Eisenhower, who, after the
Second World War, was walking one dark night to the PX when all of a sudden
around the corner ran a soldier who did not watch at all what he was doing and
he knocked right into the General and almost knocked him to the ground. The General picked himself up, dusted himself
off, looked at the soldier and said, "Soldier, do you know who I am?" The soldier replied, "No,
Sir." General Eisenhower said,
"I am the commanding officer of the Allied Armies. I am General Eisenhower." The soldier looked at him and said,
"Sir, do you know who I am?"
The General replied no and the soldier said, "Thank G-d," as
he ran away.
- Rabbi Joseph Radinsky
