The Day Of Days

The irony. I waited 2 years for this very day but find my feelings mixed. Sorrow, happiness, pride, I felt it all. I am talking about my ORD parade. Wearing the number 1 uniform, slow marching down the battalion block as the CO and the entire commando battalion salutes you to thank you for the service to the country and the commando formation.

After the parade, we exchanged hugs and handshakes. I saw my CSM cry for the first time as he was talking to us. We can't help but tear a bit ourselves. I will sure miss my days in 5th company, 1st commando battalion. Best combat unit 05/06, best operational company 05/06. STRIKE TO SILENCE!

Pictures will be coming soon. Today for me was indeed the day of days.
