- Sergeant First Class Angel Guzman from West Henrietta, and assigned to the Company A, Recruiting and Retention retires after 22 years of military service. Guzman first entered military service in January 1995.
- Staff Sergeant Craig Smith from Collins and assigned to the Company D (Forward Support Company Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition), 427th Brigade Support Battalion retires after 20 years of military service. Smith first entered military service in July 1997.
“It is a bittersweet achievement, each time we celebrate the retirement for one of our National Guard Citizen Soldiers,” German said. “I want to applaud the accomplishment and the milestone of more than 20 years of service not only of these Soldiers, but of their families and civilian employers. We say that we recruit Soldiers in the Army National Guard, but we know that to make this a career we retain families,” German said.
