LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - Fort Sill held a retirement Ceremony to say a final farewell to soldiers and staff members.
The ceremony was held at Cache Creek Chapel Friday afternoon.
Lt. Colonel David James’ family said they can’t wait to spend more time with their father now that he’s retired.
For his part, James described retirement as bittersweet. He spoke on the little adjustments ahead of him - like building up a wardrobe without his military uniform.
“Happy, sad, a whole bunch of emotions.. bitter sweet,” he said. “That’s what we said earlier, bitter sweet.”
To all the soldiers who retired Friday, all of us at 7News wish you luck in your future endeavors. We also thank you for your service.
