REENLISTMENTS

We continue to retain quality Soldiers in our Army through reenlistment.
With the start of the new fiscal year, more options became available to our Soldiers
and they immediately started taking advantage of them. Reenlistment in a combat zone
shows a great commitment to our nation and our Army – and the monetary bonuses are tax-free.
Although the money is a nice incentive, our Soldiers continue to reenlist
because they believe in what they are doing and want to be a part of something much larger than themselves.
Our reenlistments this month have occurred at a variety of places including Patrol Base Courage,
the Al-Faw Palace, and Camp Liberty. We congratulate and thank the 21 Soldiers and their families
that have reenlisted in the past 30 days. Their names are:

Staff Sergeant Curtis Keltner (A Company)
