My Take
Anthony Principi commands a quiet kind of respect from me. A man from the Bronx who served as a naval officer, trained as a lawyer at Seton Hall, and rose to become Secretary of Veterans Affairs under George W. Bush. What I find compelling is the consistency of his path: someone who knew military service personally then turned to building systems that serve veterans. That blend of intellect and resolve, capped by chairing the base realignment commission, tells me he was deeply trusted. He is not a man of the spotlight, but the kind who steadies the institutions others depend on, and I value that.
