Germany and remained in the Individual Ready
Reserves where I was a part of the mobilization team
that had trained and developed a program for in- and
out-processing Army Reserve and National Guard units
for Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 199-1. It was
satisfying to know that all this training and development
was highly successful and, that as a team, we were the
most effective mobilization organization in 6th US
Army. In 1994, I left the Army as a Major. I thoroughly
enjoyed the comraderie and work that I did for this
great country. God Bless our service members and the
job they do to keep this country free.
