The event recognized four service members: Sgt. 1st Class Charles Rice, Master Sgt. John Harris, Maj. Matthew Whatley, and Lt. Col. Terence O'Rourke. Reserve soldiers who attain a minimum of 20 years of part-time service are eligible for a retirement benefit when they reach the minimum age. The benefit is a percentage of a full active duty pension, but is proportionately increased for any periods of active service the soldier completed, such as deployments. The unit formally recognizes retirements as part of its retention and morale efforts.  (Photo/75th Training Command, Army Reserve Spc. Omari Simpson)
