🎙️ Veteran Interview Spotlight: Major General Janet Cobb
In this Veterans Month edition of Midday Mobile, Sean Sullivan sits down with a true local legend and longtime friend—Major General Janet Cobb. Fresh into retirement after serving as Executive Director of Battleship Memorial Park, Cobb reflects on life after decades of service, her unlikely path from Foley High School to becoming one of the Army’s trailblazing women, and the family and mentors who shaped her career.
She shares remarkable stories from her time in uniform—from her early days as a member of the Women’s Army Corps to her leadership roles supporting major military operations in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. One of the most moving parts of the conversation is Cobb’s deep connection to military working dogs. She recounts her first encounters with explosive detection dogs overseas, the history behind the Alabama War Dog Memorial at Battleship Park, and the emotional 2018 burial of Hank—an adopted combat working dog and the only animal ever laid to rest on the grounds.
This interview is filled with history, heart, humor, and powerful reminders of service and sacrifice—both human and canine.
