Brig. Gen. Edward M. Reeder, Jr., Commanding General, U.S. Army Special Forces Command, took a few moments to reflect on the significance of these outstanding achievements prior to presenting the awards.

“When you look at everything we do in the Regiment [USASFC] every single day, the fact that you guys have been recognized by a major command to receive these awards is very significant,” said Reeder. “This is an indicator of what you guys do every single day, and what you do every day is great, and you do it to a standard of excellence.”
