Graduation Day!

Graduation was held on the grounds behind the U.S. Army Infantry Museum. It was a simple ceremony but important occasion.


The ceremony began with the firing of guns and the setting off of smoke grenades. Yes, they were yellow and purple.


Then they came marching over the hill. Very impressive.



The flag ceremony and singing of our National Anthem stirred the soul.
Words were spoken of the importance and dedication of these young men to the cause of our people and our Nation.
Recognition and thanks were given in a presentation of their leaders. Then the new Infantry Soldiers were recognized as a group.
Lastly, the Foxtrot and Charlie Companies marched before the audience and off the field, to meet family and friends and then to bid farewell to Fort Benning.
