Joe's promotion ceremony to Lt. Colonel was held in the "White House" on U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan on Friday, February 27, 2009. U.S. Army Major General Sterling officiated the ceremony.
Here we are pinning the new silver oakleafs onto his uniform. Garrett had the privilege of carrying the hat. He loves hats, so we thought this would keep him busy. This is the only picture we got of him before he climbed under the tables and escaped to the rows of seating.
Jessica and Carson were very patient about getting the rank on just right.
The new Lt. Col. Joe Locke and his family - I did manage to catch Garrett for the family photo, however, notice how he's trying to jump out of my arms.

We finished the afternoon by sharing cake and punch with Joe's co-workers and friends.
