Friends, family and colleagues gathered to honor Bradford's remarkable career. Lt. Gen. Chris Mohan, deputy commanding general of the Army Materiel Command, praised Bradford's exceptional leadership and technical expertise.
"Dan's contributions to the Army have been immeasurable,” he said. “He has been a driving force behind many of our modernization efforts, and his dedication to the Army and its people is inspiring."
Bradford, who served as Army Materiel Command’s chief information officer, received the Distinguished Civilian Service Medal for his exceptional service.

As Bradford looked back on his career, he noted the importance of faith, family, and friends.
"Dan's faith is an inspiration to us all,” Mohan said. “He is a man of strong character and conviction, and his dedication to his faith is evident in everything he does."
As he begins this new chapter in his life, Bradford looks back fondly.
"I am excited to spend more time with my family and friends, and to pursue my passions,” he said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to have served this great nation, and I am proud of what we have accomplished."
"Dan's legacy will be remembered for years to come,” Mohan said. “He has left an indelible mark on the Army, and his contributions will continue to inspire and motivate us. We will miss him, but we are also excited to see what the future holds for him."
