West Virginia celebrates Warrant Officer Corp's 106th Birthday

The West Virginia National Guard started off the morning of July 9, 2024, with a walk/run through Coonskin Park followed by breakfast and cake at the Tackett House at Joint Forces Headquarters to celebrate the 106th anniversary of the Warrant Officer Corps, marking over a century of specialized leadership and service. Retired Chief Warrant Officer 5 Thomas Goff, a 420 Charlie-Band Master with more than 38 years of service, and the newest commissioned Warrant Officer Joseph Topping cut the ceremonial cake with a sword that was handed down to Mr. Goff from his father.  (U.S. Army photo by Erica Bodker)
