One Ceremony After Another

4/20/2009


The awards ceremony concluded, the troops and civilians are released to their usual job duties.


Sarge, nobody in the Engineers answers the phone, they are all at the awards ceremony. Why all the urgency? Why do we have all the extra security on any way? How cares if a bulldozer sits here for a couple days?

We got all the extra men on duty for security. There is a Top Secret visitor visiting the base, haven't you heard the news?
Sarge, if it was Top Secret, how would I have heard the news?


The base in on special lock up, for one very good reason. We got machine guns and armored cars and streets blocked off for a very important person who is going to visit the base. That's why everything is locked up tight as a drum. That's why I don't want no bulldozer here at the north gate.




As one awards ceremony ends, another formation begins with a benediction from the base chaplain.
