Steve's 60th Birthday
US Army Retirement
&
Family Parties |
 |
|
|
 |
Steve received his orders to retire from the US Army following 22 1/2 years in the Army National Guard and 15 years in the Reserves.
He retires as a Major with 37 1/2 combined years of service. Fort Carson, in Colorado Springs, was the closest Army base for Steve's retirement briefing and "out processing" so off we went... |
 |
|
|
We stayed on base in the Distinguished Visitor lodging in an officer's suite!
|
|
|
|
|
0800 was our briefing at the
Welcome & Farewell Center.
|
|
That night we celebrated Steve's
retirement and having our new
"retired" ID cards which mean
not only medical coverage but the
use of military facilities.
|
|
|
|
Then we headed up to Littleton to celebrate the June birthdays and Father's Day with Barb's family at Sean & Laurie's house. We spent the night with the Morans and Friday morning Sean drove us to DIA to catch our flight to Chicago for more partying!

June 15, 2007 was Mary Jane & Don's 62nd wedding anniversary!
The Kankakee gang gathered at Cindy & Vern's house. Thank you to the Sloans for all their work preparing for the celebrations party.

We also celebrated Father's Day with all the fathers at the party.
