Charlie Battery, 1st Battalion, 147 Field Artillery, South Dakota Army National Guard, Yankton, SD:

| Sergeant First Class Dave Hoiten – “Being deployed this past year for me went by fast, as I have a very strong family supporting me back home. Although when this deployment ends, it also will end my military career of over 27 years as I will be retiring. I will walk away with my head held high and be very proud to have finally gotten a chance to serve my country in my last year of service at age 44. If I would get a chance and had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing. God Bless” |
