Maj. Gen. James O. Eifert, Adjutant General for Florida, addresses a crowd during a memorial presentation Dec. 12, 2021. Family members of fallen Florida Army National Guard Soldier Sgt. Jeffrey M. Wershow presented Florida National Guard Soldiers with the 2-124 Infantry Battalion, 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) the Florida flag that had flown overseas with the Guardsman as a symbol of unity and pride. The flag represented a piece of home for the Soldiers as they assisted special operation forces in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The bond between his combat arms family and his birth family was illustrated by the proudly displayed flag bearing his initials inside the unit he unwaveringly served. Members of the unit will continue to honor his sacrifice as they fulfill their duty to both their home state and overseas. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. N.W. Huertas)
