I was blessed and honored to be a part of Jack's retirement ceremony this past month. Jeanne and I attended the retirment ceremony held at Langley Air Base here in Virginia. Langley also hosts NASA on the base. It was very cool to go on the base and see all there is there...it's like a city!
I was asked by Jack to perform the benediction over the ceremony...in attendance were those who Jack had served with over his 25 years in the Air Force. It was such a blessing to see and be a part of this very important life-event for Jack and his family, Barbara his wife and Morgan their daughter.
Pictured are Jack and his family and Brigadier General Raaberg presiding over the ceremony and presenting Jack with many plaques and citations.
Jeanne and I were also blessed at the increadible respect and reverence to our Nations Flag. The ceremony surrounding Jack's retirement was very moving...Jack ended the ceremony by blessing us on his violin playing "Amazing Grace." Jack plays on the worship team at CC Willimsburg...We "salute" you Major "Jack" for faithfully serving our country and standing steadfast to the call. We also are thankful for Barbara, and Morgan who "hung in there" during those times of deployment and silence from many missions.
God bless you guys and our U.S. Military!
