🇺🇸 Last weekend, I had the profound honor of giving the now 2LT Duncan Mcgrade his first salute! ✨🙌

The First Salute is a powerful tradition in the military, symbolizing respect and recognition from enlisted personnel to newly commissioned officers. It’s a moment that signifies the beginning of their leadership journey and their commitment to serving and leading with honor.

I was lucky enough to have enlisted 2LT Mcgrade into the Vermont Army National Guard at the beginning of the school year. Seeing his growth and dedication has been truly inspiring. Here’s to many more milestones ahead! 🇺🇸💪
