William B. Steele

William Berry Steele (born August 17, 1929) is a retired two-star general of the United States Army.

In 1935 the family moved to Fort Valley, Georgia, where Bill's father found a job with the Farm Security Administration (FSA).

While there, he successfully served in both their marketing and administration capacities, with his last four years spent as Senior Vice President for International Operations.

On November 26, 2005, Steele married Sandra "Sandy" Ingram Cross and they currently make their home in Columbus, Georgia.

In 2012 Steele published My Journey, which retraces his life from rural Georgia during the Great Depression to his career in the military.

The memoir features his personal sacrifices, triumphs, and tragedies, while ultimately it is about how proud he was to serve his country and to experience the joy and rewards of family life.
