 Honor & Color Guard Captain
 2019, 2023, 2024

It's an honor to continue to be of service as both the District 13 Santa Clara County and Post 419 City of Santa Clara Honor & Color Guard Captain.  It's a service that I was humbled enough to conduct during my Active-Duty days at Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire during the late 1980's.
