Been fortunate to have a group of childhood friends who have stayed close to this day, and we have continued to congregate when schedules allow.
Among this group is my oldest still-living friend, whom I have known since 1985.
Today marks a special day for him.
During the summer of 1992, our friend group had one last hurrah before we sent him off for what was supposed to be a 4 year enlistment in the Army.
It turned out to be a bit longer.
He returns today to civilian life.
He retired at the rank of CW4 after 31 years of active duty service in the Army, and was awarded the Legion of Merit shortly before retiring.
My friends and I would like to thank the Army for taking care of him these past several decades.
We’ve got him from here.
