Retirement ceremony for Gen. Lloyd Austin III

ARMY VIDEO
Army Gen. Lloyd Austin III retired on Tuesday in a ceremony at Fort Myer, Va., following a distinguished 41 year career, ending as commander of U.S. Central Command. He was well known in the north country for leading Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division from 2003 to 2005.

[@BayouBoi68]

I had the distinct honor to meet GEN Austin during a training exercise in Ft. Stewart, Ga. in 2001. After briefing him on our Signal Operations Site, I asked if he would take a picture with me? He obliged and said SFC I want a copy of that picture. I agreed. Two months later while fueling up at the gas station GEN Austin pulled up. I spoke and he said hi SGT I never got the copy of that picture. That goes to show he is a man who appreciated and valued Soldiers. Hooah Sir.

General Austin, thank you for your 41 years of service in the US Army.

Thank you for your service Sir!🇺🇸

[@macsdaddy3383]

Sounds like he should make a pretty decent Secretary of Defense. Finally getting one who has served for more than just a few years, or sadly and as it is more often today, having spent no time wearing our nations uniform at all. Hopefully we, as a nation, have finally begun to really turn the corner on the last 4 years of rudderless leadership at the Defense Department.

[@Reaghansdad1]

Really? Finally getting one that served for more that a few years? What about MATTIS?

I've often found that great leaders share great words of wisdom, so when I heard that retired General Lloyd Austin was going to be our nation's next secdef under President Biden I was thrilled! The General has always been the consummate professional, humble, reserved but still a great leader, our nation is so blessed to have you back serving again sir, God bless you and your family and God bless America!

[@mteteziwahaki3203]

(Rtd) Gen. Austin brings both skills and discipline of a soldier and the zeal of a patriot which comes in handy in so far as keeping America safe is the objective. I wish him wisdom and strength in the imminent task ahead of him. Thank you incoming President Biden for choosing this war hero. God Bless The United States of America.
