Retired U.S. Army Master Sgt. Frankie “Mo” Baldwin was guest speaker, whom served as 1st Battalion 178th Field Artillery Battalion master gunner in 2021 and retired in 2023.

Steve Lambert were inducted to The Ancient Order of Saint Barbara, an award that is chosen for an elite few whose long-term dedication to the field artillery has embodied the spirit, dignity and sense of sacrifice and commitment epitomized by Saint Barbara.
