If it had been six years ago, a shot to the heart would have killed Sgt. Maj. Dethfield. But just like soviet Second World War veterans, his six years worth of medals and now his 12th AOCC and his 3rd World War I victory medal have created a natural plate of armor that deflects all but the highest caliber shots. In six more years, we will probably need to give up our jacket system to accommodate his future exploits. Glad to have you with us Sgt. Maj.
