Agreed! I too think an historical approach is good for all. I think each (Army, Navy...) should stress their proud histories, and I was so glad to hear the Colonel was pursuing this. Of course, it's fun for me too! 
What an honor for me to be there with all of them. I am still reeling from it! So happy to be the representative for all these fine young men (they are still young to me). Only wish I could bring them all along to meet this generation of engineers.
I also want to visit Fort Leonard Wood one of these years. So much history there! 
Well back to work. Have to go re-stock the shelves.... Historian one day, stock-boy the next.
