On behalf of the Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project, let me convey my heartfelt and grateful appreciation to AIC Adam Wielk for his flawless honor guard performance as an integral part of the Joint Base San Antonio Honor Guard during the US Congressional Award Ceremony on June 11, 2022 at Marriott Northwest, San Antonio. The participation of the Honor Guard added dignity and solemnity to this momentous event. Equally important, he wowed the crowd!
