Public Affairs & Communications Specialist | OEF/OIF Veteran | Advisor & Mentor. My opinions are my own and do not represent my employer!
The past few weeks have been both rewarding and insightful. With the recent retirement of my former Soldier who surprise invited me and publicly thanked me for mentoring him when I thought he could care less about me, to my Louisville, Kentucky trip for the 125th #VFWNationalConvention where I ran into past mentors and comrades who had heartfelt things to say to me-where do I begin? This morning, a memory reminder popped up on my screen of when long time friend/ confidant and fellow Public Affairs professional Robert Couture made a surprise visit to my home four years ago today and presented me with the U.S. Army Public Affairs Honorable Order of St. Gabriel. As we approach the Defense Information School 60th Diamond Jubilee and prepare to witness past combat correspondents receiving honors, take time out to let someone in your career field know how they positively impacted you, and thank them for their contributions. Rob- it sure was good to see you doing your broadcast thang on behalf of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and thank you for your visit to my home four years ago today when I thought the career field never cared for me and celebrated my departure. Life’s full of surprises! Army Public Affairs Association
