Members of Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensor (PEO IEW&S) gather at the Perry Point Veterans Hospital to celebrate the Army's 242nd Birthday. Paul Williams, left, a 93-year-old Army veteran or "the oldest" joins Capt. Drew S. Hines, right, "the youngest" at 32, combined their grip to put a saber through a cake. This symbolizes bringing generations together for a common purpose. Maj. Gen. Kirk Vollmecke, the PEO of PEO IEW&S, takes time to visit veterans often as possible. Vollmecke quoted George Washington that day, saying "the willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” (U.S. Army photo/John Higgins)
