VETERANS DAY GC-CSM

The Highland Falls, N.Y., community observed Veterans Day with a ceremony at the town fire station. The West Point Military Police Honor Guard posted the colors and gave a 21-gun salute for the ceremony, and garrison commander Col. Michael Tarsa and garrison sergeant major Command Sgt. Maj. Jose Powell placed a wreath in memory of fallen Veterans. “The resilience of our Soldiers and their Families never fails to amaze me,” Tarsa said in his speech to the community. “We are working to help the Soldiers and Families who face the physical and psychological struggles of multiple deployments to become and remain balanced, healthy, and self-confident. They represent the best of America. Our Army Family is strong, and the Army is seeking to adapt its institutions, modernize the force and build resilience to maintain our combat edge as the strongest fighting force the world knows. This is the best way the Army honors their service.”
