So, a little more than an hour before our Birthday Ball celbration begins, and I have to narrate in front of the entire command including the commanding general and their families. I have been interviewed by multiple news agencies (fox, CNN etc) and have never veen this nervous. Speaking to a global audience is much easier than reading the extremely emotional words within my narrative in front of my brothers. I may tear up when I read the part about the MIA/KIA empty table near the entrance.

Now, time for a glass of Maker's Mark to settle these nerves.
