Retirement of CMSgt DJ Cantwell

"Col Brad Thompson officiated the retirement of CMSgt DJ Cantwell on 4 Jun 2010. It was a great turnout from both Jenni and DJ's side of the family. We also had a very large representation of fellow STS and other members from across the Air Force both active duty and retired with standing room only. Though we have lost DJ as an active duty CMSgt, we still have him as an advocate for ST in the Pentagon working more strategic level Special Operations issues on the Joint Staff. Hoo-Yah DJ, thanks again for everything!!!"
