Note:
This package didn't win. The only thing the individual missed out
on was not participating in the Honor Guard. Due to mission requirements,
that was never an option. Word of wisdom. Supervisors can only do so
much and troops can only due so much. It is up to the board to decide.
Unfortunately what works for one will not always work for the other. |
