Sgt. Marshall

On September 16, 2012 Aaron recieved another title to add to his ever growing list...He was promoted in the Idaho National Guard 25th Army Band to a Sergeant.

 

Chief Durfee, Spc. Marshall, First Sgt. Cleavenger

Notice the step back :).  

 The entire family was invited to his promotion ceremony and because it was in Boise, my mom, my sister, and my brother were also able to attend.

I had the wonderful honor of pinning on his new rank, the instructions I was given were to make the old rank fly and to make sure the new rank stuck (which I guess 'required' a little help) so I obliged and in the process hit my sleeping Elliott with the old rank (it defiently flew!), and knocked Aaron off balance with his new rank (I know he was expecting it, but I guess he just wasn't ready).

The General that was present for his promotion and his unit Chief both had some comments about Aaron and Military service.  The general focused more about military service, but Chief was more personal and it was good to hear how much Aaron is appreciated and loved in his unit.


We are so proud of Aaron, his musical talents, and his leadership ability.  He is a blessing in both of his occupations and in our home. 

 

We love you Sergeant!
