Description
Brigadier General Earl F. Cole, above, of Alexandria, Virginia, has been reduced to the rank of Colonel, the Army announced today. Cole was also stripped of a Distinguished Service medal awarded him in 1968. The Army said the action was taken "because he failed to maintain a high degree of personal and professional integrity" while commanding the European exchange system.
