Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion Page 42
“It has been a pleasure to have worked with the finest Officer's, NCO's, Contractors and Civilians throughout my 20 years of Service in the United States Army. I
am profoundly delighted to say that I served my country proudly & honorably. “
“I am astonished at how rapidly time has passed. It seems like just yesterday was
my first day. "Where did the years go?" is what I consistently ask myself now as I
reminisce through the memories. “
“Words cannot describe the honor it has been to serve with everyone. It is extremely difficult to give my farewell to the Army life style that I have developed; it
is a battle rhythm embedded into my daily routines. Unfortunately, the time has
arrived, in which, I must part ways and initiate a new chapter in my life. “
“I want to express a special thanks to my wife, Veronica, who supported me and
stood by my side always, to include my family members. I will take with me all the
skills and knowledge I have acquired in these past 20 years and apply them to
any new experiences I encounter in my future. With intense pride, I served and
protected what I strongly believed in; though I will not wear an Army uniform, I will
continue to demonstrate my admiration to this great country and its freedom.”
“I would like to the thank God and my family for helping and supporting me
for 21 years of service to my country. I would also like to thank all the great
Leaders I have had for their help, mentorship and guidance. Finally, to all
the soldiers I have served with that have sacrificed so much and been my
strength through all these years, Thank you and good luck with all you
future endeavors. “
