Cpl. Martin has by now become one of the most established and foundational members of the platoon that DP1 has become. All that makes our platoon great is exemplified by him: the indomitable spirit, the accepting atmosphere, and the drive to keep moving forward at all times. He never ceases to bring a smile to the faces of everyone in the channel, much like the smile with which he joins us every time. As Cpl. Martin has been with us for 3 years now, he is very much deserving of a recognition of this time, and all he has achieved during it. So, congratulations on your 6th Army of Occupation Medal, Cpl., and keep contributing to this platoon as you have to your squad!
