Shenandoah County Fair - Veterans Tribute Day/Honoring Future Soldiers
September 2, 2010
By: 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.

Day Sixty-One - Another Subject Bites the Dust
September 1, 2010
By: First Lieutenant Patrick Sandys
Well, "hump day" is nearly at its end and this morning marked the end of yet another subject, Fiscal/Contract Law, as well as the beginning of our last month in C'Ville. Its hard to imagine that it has only been two months since we arrived at Ft. Lee, it feels (at least to me) that is has been so much longer, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think my blogs have reflected just how much fun I am having, and I don't think that is going to change when our time here...read more

This first photo is of an older Veteran (the yellow ribbon pinned on their shirts/jackets indicates...read more
