Joint Chiefs' chairman steps down

Gen. Richard B. Myers will be honored today on Fort Myer's Summerall Field as he retires from a 40-year career. The Air Force officer officially ends his last day as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
A full joint honor guard and a whole host of distinguished guests will descend upon Summerall Field at 10 a.m. Myer became the 15th chairman of the joint chiefs on Oct. 1, 2001. The country was in the midst of recovering from the terrorist attacks and the new chairman had to oversee worldwide military operations.
