In this image released by the Army Reserve's Military Intelligence Readiness Command, Master Sgt. Branden Young (second from left) looks on while former President George H.W. Bush, Brig. Gen. Gabriel Troiano (second from right) and Young's wife Amanda applaud as part of a military ceremony in Houston, Texas, Friday, April 25, 2014. The event was a re-enlistment for Young, a Virginia-based reservist who successfully requested Bush as the official to witness the ceremony and sign the required documents. Young -- along with his family, friends and members of his unit -- traveled to Bush's post-presidential office in Houston for the event. Troiano administered the oath as part of the ceremony. Military units use formal re-enlistment ceremonies as a way to recognize ongoing service, as well as to encourage retention. (Photo/75th Training Command, Army Reserve Maj. Adam Collett)
