Biography
American military hero for his leadership in the Gulf War in January 1991. He served as the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Department of Defense, from 1 October 1989 to 30 September 1993, under both President George Bush and President Bill Clinton.
The son of Jamaican immigrants, he grew up in the Bronx, After getting a BS and MBA, he entered the U.S. Army in 1958 and rose to the post of Assistant to President Bush for National Security in 1987. In his posts, including Vietnam in 1962, his conduct earned him the Bronze Star, the Air Medal and the Purple Heart. He was Knighted by Queen Elizabeth on 15 December 1993 for his ability in the Gulf War.
A strong family man, he married Alma Johnson in 1957 and had three children. He was quoted as saying that he was "comfortable with myself, but too quick to anger," and reflecting on his personal life, "What else is there in life but family?"
After publishing My American Journey on 25 September 1995, he appeared on talk shows and promo tours. His popularity was so great that were he to run for President, his success seemed assured; however, his wife was strongly against such a move. As the first black president, she felt that he would be a target. He himself said that he "did not have a fire in his belly" for the job. What Powell chose to do was run "America's Promise," his crusade to enlist corporations, government, nonprofit organizations and millions of citizens into giving every child at risk five things: an ongoing childhood with a caring adult, a safe place to go after school, a healthy start, a marketable skill and a chance to serve others.

After receiving a diagnosis of prostate cancer a few months prior, the U.S. Secretary of State underwent surgery on 15 December 2003. He made a full recovery.
