Congrats....
....to all involved. The young troopers looked right sharp in spite of the cold temps and biting wind. Hats off to the Guard SM and the rest of the leadership for their obvious prep work.
Also to the people behind the scenes, like our very own favorite zipperhead, WO Zinck, who literally make the wheels turn.
To the Padre, who was flexible, easy going, (the way that only Padres can be), even after being told a dozen times by half a dozen people "don't step on the exhaust guard when you mount up!"
Thanks to Brad for the invite to ride shotgun. I know that the decision to make the road move in spite of an "iffy" weather forecast was a tough call, but you did the right thing and I was proud to play my small, very small part.
My sincere condolences to the Moncel family on the loss of this man who was nothing less than a National Treasure
Cheers
