On Satuday the 18th of March I will complete my 300th Military Funeral Honor detail. It has been by far the greatest honor of my career to be trusted with this sacred duty and as a junior enlisted. What has been the greatest honor of your career?

The day I did something greater then myself.
"I, Mary Beaver, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

The greatest honor of my military career was serving. That is why I joined and it is what I accomplished, honorably.

SSG(P) (Join to see) I'd say being submitted for the Bronze Star Medal twice. Though neither was approved, knowing that my direct superiors know in their eyes I deserved it for the work I did on those two deployments, really makes me proud and I aspire to be that kind of leader...always going to bat for your people!

there are a few, serving 31 years for this country, going to Iraq with some of the best young people I ever met, but the one that really stands out was being part of an awards ceremony for a WW II vet that was finally recognized for his valor while serving in Europe

September 18, 1972, being chosen as a Private E-2 to be part of the security detachment for the Air Force 25th Anniversary party in Stuttgart, Germany and being able to greet dignitaries at the front entrance to the hotel.
Another honor was being recommended for the Soldier's Medal after an incident on July 25, 1974. Didn't get the medal, but I did save a life.

Three moments actually comet to mind.
From the time I was 8 years old I wanted to be a captain and command an infantry company.
In May of '78 I took command of an Infantry company and in October of that same year I was promoted to captain making that dream come true. I was very proud to have made that goal.
Commanding a company was probably the most rewarding of all my assignments.
One other event stands out as significant and that is the day I received the EIB.
