Chair Sash

Unwavering dedication and professionalism while supporting the dignified reception of the remains and funeral services for Sergeant Joshua D. Desforges, who was killed in Afghanistan on 12 May 2010 and returned to Westover Air Reserve Base the following week.

Your attention to detail during the planning, preparation, and implementation of your duties as the generous provider of the complimentary tents contributed to the overwhelming success of this solemn event. On behalf of the Marine Corps Site Support Element and all Marine Corps units aboard Westover, I would like to personally thank and commend you for a job well done. Semper Fidelis.
