THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN...

...and his name is Lt. Col. Drew Meyerowich.

Congratulations go out to our great friend and now ex-neighbor on taking comand of the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry.

This is Drew taking Battalion Colors from the Brigade Commander. He received them from the out-going commander. This is the official turn-over of the command.

It's been a long path from Drew's days as a West Point cadet, a path that's taken him to Somolia, Afghanistan, Iraq and the treacherous backwaters of Valrico, but he's found a well-earned home back in Hawaii.

Before he and the family left, we took them on a little tour of the Bay area, including:

And Pass-A-Grille Beach.

And we couldn't let them leave without:

...without one final volley of fireworks.

All our love goes out to Drew, Susan, D.J., Curtis and Bryan (pictured here with Kolchak, the wolfhound unit mascot).

Trecherous backwaters of Valrico. *snort*

Tough assignment, that Hawaii gig. Or so I've been told. I'd have loved to find out for myself, though.
