Please join us in congratulating Staff Sgt. Michael Winkler on his retirement! He entered the service in November of 2003 and served with 25th Infantry Division Band, the 77th ARMY BAND, the 3rd Infantry Division Band, the Eighth Army Band - 미8군 군악대, America's First Corps Band, and two tours at the U.S. Army School of Music as bass instructor and culminating as a training developer.
His years of dedicated service also included deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
"If I had to go back in time and join the Army again, I would immediately join the Army Band—without hesitation. My experiences in the Army have been both amazing and tragic, but they have built me into the person I am today; therefore, I have no regrets. I will miss serving as an Army Musician, but I will continue to serve in other capacities to better our nation. Keep the music alive and joyful and continue to bring a little bit of home to those who can’t get there."

Today marks the first day of National Hispanic Heritage Month! In honor of the Hispanic-American Soldiers proudly serving in the U.S. Army, the #USASOM Latin Band performs Staff Sgt. Elmer Castillo's arrangement of "Baila Conmigo," a Puerto Rican salsa. . . . . "Hispanics have a proud record of military service, dating all the way back to the Civil War. Whether their heritage can be traced to Spain, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, or one of dozens of other Spanish-speaking countries or cultures, they've answered the "call to duty," defending America with unwavering valor and honor. Today, thousands of Hispanic-American Soldiers are fighting contingency operations throughout the world -- engaging the enemy on distant shores, as well as protecting the homeland in the most noble of endeavors. Today, just as in generations past, Hispanic Soldiers -- both men and women -- can be especially proud of their significant contributions to the war effort and embodying the U.S. Army’s values that unite all service members as one." - U.S. Army Center of Military History #usarmybands
