Here's a reminder to thank all those who work day in and day out. Through the heat of summer and the cold of winter. Through rain or shine. Especially, today on Thanksgiving. These fine Americans stand guard to protect our freedoms across the world. Thank you to all the police, fire, emergency medical personnel, and of course, military members for your selfless service to our nation. I am very thankful for all of you! Included in this list of fine Americans are the Soldiers of the 212th Military Police Detachment, Department of the Army Civilian Police, Department of the Army Security Guards and IMCOM Military Police that serve and protect the Fort Belvoir community. There was no shortage of food for those working provided by the leaders and command team of the 212th Military Police Detachment. Happy Thanksgiving!

Another amazing event today that is deserving of its own post. On 22 October, Fort Belvoir Police and the 212th MP Det responded to a home on post in which the situation escalated to a barricaded subject. Multiple agencies were involved to include the Fairfax County police and FBI in hopes to bring a peaceful end to a very dangerous situation. The actions of those pictured here, along with many other civilian and federal agents, assisted in the successful detention of the subject with no loss of life or property. SSG Deak, SSG Gonzalez, SGT Rankin, SPC Nightengale, SGT Barlow, SPC Vuola and SGT Thompson (not pictured) were instrumental in securing the scene and ensuring residents in the subjects house along with neighboring residents were evacuated to safety. This event lasted well over 20 hours and everyone maintained the highest of discipline and resilience throughout the duration of the incident. For their actions, each Soldier was awarded the Army Achievement Medal presented by MG Pepin, the Joint Task Force National Capital Region Military District of Washington Commander. Incredibly proud of everyone who responded and thankful nobody was hurt.
