Change of Command Ceremony

Here are some pictures from the ceremony.

My best friend Sherri and her husband Rusty made the journey from Georgia to attend the ceremony! Mom and Bekah helped keep Eric feed and happy.

The girls really enjoyed the ceremony, they each got a yellow rose to welcome them to the 72nd Engineer Company - they were thrilled!!!

The passing of the company flag from Col Whittle to Josh signifies that Josh is now the commander of 72nd EN CO. And then Josh giving his speech..I have a video of this on my Facebook page (thanks Jessie!).

The reception afterwards
I had to include this picture because of Eric!!!!!

Eric and Aunt Bekah. Josh and his Dad.
