Promotion Time

Promotion day to Lt Col had arrived. Alex Gracia (another '94 Grad in my office) & I bundled our promotions together. Top of The Town hosted the event and the view was spectacular. Maj Gen McCasland was the Presiding Official. Cote & I were blessed with my mom and a host of friends - to include the Bells, Val Pech Orr, and a swath of local friends. We had friends there from every assignment. A special day indeed.
