Pentagon Award Ceremony

It has been a while, but I will try to update this whole page with one massive entry. (OK, it looks like I will have to make multiple entries as I can't get more photos to upload).

After last Christmas, the first big thing was that Helen got the cast off of her arm. She is fully mobile, functional, and has no lingering effects of her last sports injury.

In the Spring, we found out that the Army project I spent most of last year working on won a big competition. Our command got selected as the best Reserve Command in the Army. I got to go with the General to the Pentagon to collect the prize. In the photo you can see how much we got. Unfortunately, there are all kinds of regulations that prevent Soldiers from getting bonuses.



The big deal was being on the stage at the Pentagon auditorium with a Four star, Three star, and my commander, the Two star general being handed the check.

Later, they sent us a video of the whole affair. I trimmed it down to my 60 seconds of Army fame.
