Shenandoah County Fair - Veterans Tribute Day/Honoring Future Soldiers
September 2, 2010
Sergeant First Class Mahoma Tello
Hello everyone, today I had the privilege of meeting future Soldiers as well as marching them onto a Grandstand Ceremony honoring veterans from the past, present and future. Not only did I get to march future Soldiers but I also marched future Sailors onto the ceremony. The recruiters from both the Army and the Navy are very awesome and they work hand in hand, solidifying one team, one fight. I also had a chance to speak to the future Soldiers and answer their questions on...read more

One of the reasons I love being part of the Army's Trial Defense Service (TDS) is the opportunity to make a direct impact on Soldiers' lives at some of their lowest, toughest times. I like to think that the compassion that I and my attorneys have for them is shared by their commanders and the military justice system at large. The last few weeks, however, my faith in the inherent fairness of "the system" and the reasonsed discretion of commanders has been shaken....read more

The finale of The U.S. Army Field Band's summer concert series at Fort Meade was a real gala affair. It featured The Volunteers, America's Big Band - the Jazz Ambassadors, the Soldiers' Chorus, and the Concert Band. MSG Laura Lesche, SSG Meghan Whittier, and SSG Pamela Terry sing songs from the World War II era. The weekend also marked the annual gathering of Field Band alumni and many of them sat in during the concert. MAJ (Ret) Sam Fricano,...read more

Today we are celebrating our 10th year of Top Fuel Racing, and "The Sarge", Tony Schumacher (the driver) is in the house here at Knox.

Maude Complex, where the Commanding General is going to make a few remarks to celebrate this 10 year relationship here in just a few minutes. I have to scoot to catch the ceremony, then I'll tell you more about that monster machine he...read more

I need to explain where I come from. I am the only one in my family to ever finish College. I am also the only one in my family to earn Masters Degrees and a Ph.D. I started working as a bus boy in a restaurant at 15 to help my family make ends meet. I have been working ever since. My military service over the last 35 years has changed my life. Without the Army my life would have been very different. I could not really afford to attend College when I got out of High...read more

What was he like? What was he like? Well, let me tell you. He was the embodiment of commitment, dedication to his profession, and bravery. Not to mention all-around good guy with a love of country beyond what you could ever imagine. He has a great sense of humor. And he eats M&M’s like the rest of us. What was even better? I got to meet a few of his teammates as well. And a few days earlier I was able to see them perform on a private field doing what they train their bodies and minds...read more
