Wayne Send Off Ceremony

Today we had our send off ceremony in Wayne at Wayne State College. Here are some pictures from the event.
To start it off we marched onto the field to a crowd of about 3000.

The Governor was present again for the second ceremony. Being a former Army guy hisself, I think he truely understand what we are going through.

This picture is of us in formation on the field. Our unit is made up of 4 platoons, HQ (Headquarters, which I am in), 1st Platoon, 2nd Platoon, and 3rd Platoon.

This is me standing in formation for the ceremony.

The final speech was given by our commander. I've known him from my Lincoln unit and I feel confident he can lead us through this adventure.

From Left to Right - Thanks to Jane, Jack, Ann and Tara for coming to the ceremony.
