    Prior to becoming an officer, 2nd Lt. Bennie Brown served for years as an enlisted member of the Oklahoma National Guard. On the left, he shows his son the type of body armor he will be wearing on an upcoming deployment. On the right, he and his son pose together years later when his son enlisted in the Oklahoma National Guard. Brown is the oldest African American officer and one of the oldest officers ever to graduate the engineer officer course at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. (photo illustration provided by 2nd Lt.
