Returning to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) to assume command as the brigade commander brings me much joy to be reunited with great Non-Commission Officers and Officers that I have previously served with. Unfortunately, this brigade is no longer the brigade I remember when I commanded a battalion within the 4th ABCT not so long ago.

Therefore, this critical problem has led to other challenging issues within the brigade.

The origins of a Military Ball can be traced back to 1895. During a Military Ball, attendees honor Prisoners of War and Soldiers Missing in Action, it is also important that they give toasts to military leaders, and uphold traditional military customs.

What make me regret is that I did not go to the Veterans Day Ceremony because I had class at 11am on Tuesday. I know that the United State annually celebrate the Veterans Day every November to honor and praise veterans of all service branches for the sacrifices each have made for their country. This year, Rear Admiral John Kirby is the guest of honor and speaker, so I do a little bit more research about him. Rear Admiral John Kirby was grown up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He graduated from the University of South Florida in 1985 in Tampa, Florida, and he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in history.
