Happy
Birthday
SCOTTO
On
May 24th we attended 198th Infantry Brigade
Graduation. Scott had completed his
training at the United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence in Ft Benning,
GA. Because it was the Memorial Day
weekend, the ceremony was especially meaningful. The graduation was two days. The first day was the “Turning Blue
Ceremony”. Mack shared this link on his Facebook page :
The Infantry Blue Cord is
presented to all qualified infantryman in the U.S.
Army at the end of their Initial Entry Training.
Officers commissioned into the infantry receive their Blue Cords at the end of
the Infantry Officer Basic Course (IOBC)
Mack
was there to put the blue cord on Scott at the
“Turning Blue Ceremony”.
The
Infantry
Graduation
takes place at the National
Infantry Museum.
We had the opportunity to spend some time there when we visited Scott for Family
Day. It was quite an experience. You can
learn and even experience through the eyes of a soldier wars from 1898 to present. I really hope my
dad can go there sometime. He would love
it.

We were honored to hear from Brigadier
General David B. Haight for the Graduation and Memorial
Day Ceremony.
They have taken grass from our countries different battle
fields
to have placed in the grounds here.
