No Desert Storm was not against terrorism, Desert Storm was to evict the Iraqi Army from Kuwait and prevent them from seizing any other territories in the Middle East. The war on terrorism began after the attack on September 11th.
There were less than 200 US fatalities during DS; the bulk of which were US Army. Corpsmen are USN personnel assigned to the USMC.
US Army GEN's Norman Schwarzkopf, Colin Powell, and Tommy Franks were the primary General's during Desert Storm.
Yes, during Operation Desert Storm, several soldiers from Michigan, including Garden City, were killed. One notable individual was Army Specialist James D. Harlow, who lost his life during the conflict. The sacrifices of these soldiers are remembered as part of the broader impact of the Gulf War on local communities.
The Army's official sidearm for some years now has been the 9mm Berreta M9.

Traditionally US Army personnel have not been issued camoflage uniforms as general issue (general issue means issued to everybody). The first general issue of camoflage uniforms for the US Army was possibly the green camoflaged BDU's of the post Vietnam War 1980's (BDU-Battle Dress Uniform). Desert Storm saw the first general issue of "Desert Camoflaged Uniforms & boots" for the US Army. Those uniforms have changed at least twice again during the current Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-to present). During Desert Storm, the popular term for the Desert Camoflage used was "Chocolate Chip Cammies", which were much different than the DCU's (Desert Camoflage Uniform) of the early OIF/OEF campaigns. Currently all the services utilize their own combat uniform except the Navy, which maintains the DCU (For the time being).
General Norman Schwazcopf, Better know as 'Stormin" 'Norman"
Too many to list. I myself served with the 134th Maintenance Company under the 1st Army.
Prior to Desert Storm, GEN Schwarzkopf had fought in Vietnam with the US Army's Americal Division, as did GEN Colin Powell.
