🕯️ We Remember 🕯️
Today marks 24 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001—a day that changed our nation forever. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost, and countless others were impacted in ways that still echo through time.

We remember the heroes who ran toward danger, the families who endured unimaginable loss, and the unity that rose from the ashes. As we pause to reflect, may we carry forward the spirit of compassion, resilience, and service that defined our response.

Let us never forget. 🇺🇸

Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and salute the patriots who’ve stood in defense of our freedom ever since. Their courage lives on. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Transfer of Authority Ceremony • Fort Bliss, TX 🇺🇸
Today, the 654th Regional Support Group passed the torch to the 653rd RSG in a time-honored Transfer of Authority ceremony. Under the Texas sun and the watchful eyes of our flags, we stood in formation not just as soldiers, but as stewards of mission, legacy, and service.

It was an honor to witness this moment of transition—where one team’s chapter closes and another’s begins. The professionalism, pride, and precision on display reflected the strength of both units and the enduring values we uphold.

To the 654th RSG: thank you for your leadership and dedication.
To the 653rd RSG: welcome to Fort Bliss. May your time here be marked by excellence and impact.

🎖️ Congratulations, SGT Julio Lopez! 🇺🇸

Today, under the proud arch of the 5th Armored Brigade and the unwavering gaze of our nation’s flag, you stepped forward not just in rank—but in responsibility, leadership, and honor.

Your promotion to Sergeant reflects the dedication, discipline, and integrity you bring to every mission and every moment in uniform. As you shook hands and stood tall among your peers, you reminded us all of what it means to lead with purpose and serve with pride.

May this milestone be just the beginning of a journey filled with impact, growth, and continued excellence. The chevrons on your uniform now carry the weight of mentorship and example—and we know you’ll wear them with distinction.

Well done, SGT Lopez. The formation is stronger because of you.
