While this is not Greg's presentation ceremony, it is the closest I can come to more info on the Gold Combat Spurs.

U.S. Army Col. Mike Murray, commander, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, awards gold spurs to Spokane, Wash. native Staff Sgt. Chris Haag of the Scout Platoon, Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment, as the Combat Order of the Spur is read during an awards ceremony held at Camp Prosperity in Baghdad, Iraq, Nov. 6, 2004. Gold spurs distinguish cavalry scouts from other cavalry Soldiers and are awarded to those troopers who have served honorably in a combat zone. U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.

Welcome HOME! This year's going to be a good one.

The thing about the hi-vis vests, though...lemme tellya how that sort of thing works out. You're going to be 98 years old and another old codger is gonna wheelchair up to you and hit you in the face with a cream pie, and you're going to know why he did it the moment he does it. That kind of grudge lasts a looooong time...
