Happy Halloween!

Be very careful trick or treating out there, you never really know what is out in the neighborhood...

One Last Time

Sunday at the Northwest Armory, Chicago, IL

When I retired, I sort of slipped out the door with little notice.  No big worry, that is how I came into the Army too.  But the command had already put me in for an award, so when it came (a bit late) I was asked to come back and receive it.  It was more than I had expected (and perhaps deserve) for it was the Legion of Merit. I suppose the 25 years as an officer (2+ enlisted) with several deployments abroad and domestically, with some prior awards of a respectable nature made their choice for them. But it is humbling nonetheless.
