He was born in Atlanta and graduated from Stetson University and Emory University. He served as a captain in the U.S. Army from 1965-1968, was seriously wounded in combat in Vietnam, appointed administrator of the U.S. Veterans Administration by President Carter, elected Georgia Secretary of State, and elected U.S. Senator from Georgia (1997 to 2003). He was one of the first Vietnam Veterans to be attacked politically by members of the current administration and lost his bid for reelection in 2002.
