Michael Skardon promoted to Lt. Colonel

By Michael Skardon
      On April 1 I was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the Army. The promotion ceremony was held here at the Pentagon. Aunt Gerry, Uncle Jimmy, Cava, Steve, Mack and Sally Sittnick, as well as my Uncle Joe and Aunt Courtney Stukes came to Washington and attended the ceremony. COL (P) Guy Swan and my sister Cava did the "pinning on" of the new rank. It was a wonderful day and great to have family there in support.
       Afterwards we celebrated with drinks and dinner out at the Mount Vernon Inn. It was all very nice.
      So far, I really enjoy my new rank, especially when I walk into my office and all my old "major" friends salute and call me "sir."
