This is an award that few people will see given out, and of course far fewer will ever be awarded it, and nobody at this moment deserves it more than PFC Fleming. Fleming joined the 29th with a single goal: to be the best shot in all of Dog company. He has made incredible progress towards this end during his tenure with us. First, it was his quick demonstration of rifle ability that earned him an early PFC. Then, it was his hard work and dedication that earned him his Rifle Sharpshooter Badge and subsequent placement of DP3 sniper. Now, it is the culmination of all his work thus far that sees him earning his Sniper Marksman Badge. I have watched him working together with his peers, learning from them and attempting to improve upon their tactics. I have seen him take every loss on the chin, treating them like a challenge to be overcome. Now, his hard work has paid off, and I cannot wait to see what happens next. Congratulations PFC Fleming.
