Major General John B. “Jack” Ramey completed a distinguished 40-year career in the U. S. Army, Nebraska Army National Guard, and the 35th Infantry Division, culminating in command of the 35th Infantry Division from 1994 to 1998. Prior to that he commanded both Infantry and Logistical Brigades. A tireless and inspirational leader, he coordinated three maneuver brigades and the 35th Division Support Command’s logistical support in train-up of the units and in U. S. Army Warfighter exercises.
