Congratulations Lt. Col. Lawrence "Gordo" Sullivan



A few students in Larry's SAASS class were promoted to Lt. Col. on 1 November. They had a simple, yet very meaningful ceremony, which is a time-honored tradition in the Air Force. The ceremony was officiated by a Marine Corps colleague, and the oath given by a former Vietnam POW and fighter pilot. From the top: 1. Olivia hearts Thucydides. That's Larry's SAASS cube...very organized. :) 2. Abigail and Olivia walk their Dad into the auditorium - so proud. 3. The new promotees take the oath of office.

From Major to Lieutenant Colonel



Olivia and Abigail "pinned" him on during the ceremony. They did a great job! 

Larry thanks his biggest fans



Post-ceremony fun with the promotees, friends and families




From the top: 1. Olivia, Daddy's girl #2, during the closing remarks 2. Silver oak leaf cake and cookies from the commissary - yum. 3. Abigail & Olivia celebrating after the ceremony. 4. The SAASS students, faculty, staff and families in attendance congratulating the new 0-5s.
