Congrats, and thanks, to Larry G.

[RSO 34]

After 35 years of distinguished military service as a Blackhawk pilot and instructor, Larry G retired today and has become a civilian. He took his son Craig, back from a tour of duty in Iraq, on his final flight yesterday and turned in his keys. Some of us were very fortunate to attend his retirement ceremony at the Indiantown Gap Military base today and wanted to share some photos from the day. Thanks, Larry, for your distinguished service to our country.

CRAIG and LARRY
