A shot in the dark, but perhaps it was Philippe Petain? The french loved him up until the point where he ran Vichy France for the Germans in WWII.

Well the last person that has a shot who has already won some cookies is djstasavitch, unless somebody else jumps in it looks like he is going to get an easy cookie here, or maybe ncis is just waiting in the shadows ready to pounce on this question, so here it is again,

#8

Dog tags were first issued in 1918 to assist in the Identification of fallen Service members, ( Graves Registration and Casualty Evacuation were not a high priority, in most cases skeletal remains were all that was left. )

Who was issued the first set of Dog Tags, with the ID Numer 01 ?

and the last hints,

This person has many quotes attributed to him, allong with others here are three of his,

"Watch your language", Heaven or Hoboken by Christmas.

Lafayette, we are here.

Infantry, Artillery, Aviation--all that we have--are yours to dispose of as you will. . . . I have come to say to you that the American people would be proud to be engaged in the greatest battle in history.

Nope, way to long ncis, sorry,

But look at the bright side, you have helped narrow it down a bit, it´s some where between 6 and 28 hours, and there is a tolerance of 1 hour, unless somebody hits it right on the head,
