On Friday night, Hamilton's Own got together and held our Hail and Farewell ceremony where we had the opportunity to welcome the new members of the Battalion and say our goodbyes to the ones that are leaving. Although we are saddened with their departures, 1-5 will forever be grateful for all they have done for the organization.

Today, 1-5 FA kicked off the 1ID Year of the Warrior with a Division run. Hamilton's Own Soldiers completed a 4 mile run around Custer Hill, calling cadence and building esprit de corps throughout the formation. No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great!
