Service members, their families, and community members gathered at the Navy Reserve Center, April 30 to participate in the installation's Retirement Ceremony.
Sgt. 1st Class Manuel R. Esteves, a native of San Sebastián, Puerto Rico, and operations training sergeant of the Army Reserve's 266th Ordnance Company, emphasized how the Army shaped his personal development.
"The Army shaped me through discipline and training, which were crucial in my growth. I feel honored and proud to be recognized by Fort Buchanan for this retirement ceremony," said Esteves, who was accompanied by his wife, Grisel Hernández Irizarry.
Hernández Irizarry shared her thoughts on her husband's commitment to service.
"Manuel pursued his passion and often stated that if he was born again, he would join the Army once more. He has made sacrifices, but they have been worth it. I have always encouraged him to follow what inspires and motivates him," she said emotionally.
