Sgt. 1st Class Sean Fortune and 88M (motor vehicle operator) Course Manager Master Sgt. Henry Branham hold his gift from his unit’s Soldiers while Fortune’s 2-year-old daughter, Savannah, looks at his Disney Princess toy from her seat among the “official party” chairs. Fortune, a St. Louis (Mo.) police officer, will retire from the military on May 17 after 23 years of service. His retirement ceremony was held April 26 at the Illinois Military Academy where he served as a senior instructor with the Illinois Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 129th Regiment (Regional Training Institute) in Springfield. He was known to release Soldiers at the end of the duty day when he was placed in charge – sometimes with his commander’s or first sergeant’s knowledge.
