PIN ON CEREMONY FOR

CH MAJOR MICHAEL D. GRUBBS

Liberty Chapel Annex
Mountain Home AFB, Idaho
September 29, 2000 @ 1600

 "To our Major" from Chris, Mary Ann, Coleta & Doyle


The picture is of Ch Fox. Ch Fox gave up his life jacket along with three other chaplains. Mike keeps this picture of Ch Fox in his office to remind him "it is about serving". The flag is a required part of the promotion setting. This particular flag is from his "kindergarten" days at home. He learned to say the pledge to this very flag. The hat is the new one for his major rank with lightening bolts.
