Veteran’s Day Is Today
Since yesterday’s collection of various veterans was so popular, I’m going to post another bunch of pictures of people with whom I’ve served over the years and some notable friends and others I admire who served honorably. Some of these are reruns and others may not be. I’m feeling less lazy today, so I may caption these.
To all of you pictured below, to those colleagues not pictured below and to all who have served honorably, thank you!
Staff of Army Forces Central Command – Saudi Arabia in 2000. Some great Americans in this group. Loved this job.

If I missed your name in these tags, I apologize!
Thanks for sharing COL Dan. That is awesome. Thank you for your service!
And you for yours, sir! You and Brother Carnegie were fine role models for a late-to-arrive-at-the-party Finance Officer like me. Thanks for training me well!
That is me!!
Dan, thanks so much for posting that picture from SOAC! What a great class and group of officers that was! I think we actually scared the cadre!
I think we did, too. For a school gathering of officers, there’s never been a stronger sense of camaraderie than there was in our class. It stands as the most positive academic and social experience of my military career. Somewhere I still have the paper copies of our graduation party invitation.
I agree 100% with you Dan and I still have a copy too!
Dan, thanks for all of your support and help. We really appreciate it!😄👍
