The time honored traditions of military service are never more apparent than in the way that we celebrate our history and honor those who have served in our ranks.  While the planning and rehearsal process can be tedious, a professional and well executed event can be a great source of pride for those involved.

Many of my most cherished career memories involve participating in well-earned promotions and graduations, re-enlistments attended by families, hilarious skits at dining ins, bittersweet farewells, powerful memorials…the list goes on.

What was your favorite military ceremony and what made it special?

Do you have any advice or resources to assist leaders and action officers involved in making military ceremonies and celebrations a success?
