    Deployed father renders first salute to newly commissioned son

    Master Sgt. Marshall Rader, a native of Clarington, Ohio, holds a silver dollar in a coin holder he received from his son in the mail. Rader viewed the officer commissioning ceremony of his son Gregory Rader, held at North Georgia University campus via video teleconference, May 10, 2013. A video teleconference was set up inside the conference room at Forward Operating Base Gamberi so that can Rader can render the first salute to his son following his promotion. It is a tradition for the newly promoted officer to present the first person to render a salute with a silver dollar. Rader serves as human resources noncommissioned officer-in-charge assigned to 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, based out of Fort Hood, Texas. “It’s a great honor, it has got his birth year on it,” said Master Sgt. Rader. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Richard Andrade, Task Force Long Knife Public Affairs)
