Here are some more details on my retirement ceremony which is scheduled for Thursday, May 28th 2009. It will be held at Fort Myer, VA. This is located next to Arlington National Cemetary just minutes from downtown Washington D.C. The ceremony starts at 3:00p.m. at Summerall Field and will be followed by a dinner reception at the Spates Community Club there at Fort Myers. If the weather is bad the retirement ceremony will be held indoors at Conmy Hall (Building 241).
The ceremony includes a jaw dropping performance by the Army Band and the Old Colonial Fife and Drum Corps. The pagentry is legendary and will certainly provide you with entertainment, a sense of patriotism, and memories to last a long time. I really hope everyone can come. I will however need a count of those who plan to attend so that I can order the right amount of food for the reception. Believe me, it will be worth your time and nickel to visit D.C. Kim

It sounds like a very nice event to attend, but I am not sure how I could get out there to attend. Nevertheless, thank you for your many years of service.
I wish I could be there. If I were still stateside...I would have made effort and if it were in June....I could have tried as I'll be stateside for a week. I hope you can take photos and share them with us. Congratulations!
What are the dates again?

Thank you, Kim, for the invitation. School, care of Nick, Mouse, and home preclude much if any travel at all for me.
