The king, who died Jan. 23 at age 90, oversaw the modernization of his country’s military during the time he spent as commander of the Saudi Arabian National Guard, a position he held from 1963 until he became king in 2005.

Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey said the essay competition is a fitting tribute to the life and leadership of the Saudi Arabian monarch.

I personally think that the tribute essay contest should honor King Fahd. A far fairer friend of the United States of America than King Abdullah. Just my opinion.

An interesting challenge to increase the complex problems of that corner of the world. From what I hear if the masses of Saudi Arabia got their way we wouldn't be allies much longer.
