"Someone take Kathy's camera"

For the past year (almost) I've worked for Mr. M. He's been one of the best leaders I've ever worked for or even seen.  He leads by example.  He has a wicket sence of humor and he really knows his stuff.  And he's retiring this week.  He'll be greatly missed by all the Army HR community. 
Today he called for an "all hands meeting".  He wanted to say good bye and to give out some awards.  Of course I had my camera (the new one).  I was taking photos of the employees getting awards and then I heard "Someone take Kathy's camera".  You know how I get when I take photos!  I figured Mr. M was tired of hearing the "click".  Instead, Mr. M.'s assistant took my camera and Mr. M. called me up to the front of the room. 
I got a letter of appreciation from the Head of Army Civilian Personnel.  Not just Europe, Ms. P. is in charge of all Army HR regions.  The letter was for all the work I've done for the Army Wounded Warrior Program.  In the past 8 months, I've placed 4 Wounded Warriors into jobs here in Germany.  If you don't know about the WW Program, you should check it out.  It takes care of our wounded men and women.
So I got a suprise award and someone took my photo for a change.
