Illinois Army National Guard Col. Ron Bonesz, then a captain and Commander of the 333rd Military Police Co., looks over a captured weapons cache in Iraq circa 2003 to 2004. Bonesz of Normal, Illinois, retired in November with more than 28 years of honorable service. During a distinguished career he led Soldiers on three combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, twice as a commander. He was the Illinois Army National Guard’s top personnel officer effectively confronting multiple transitions and issues including major deployments and a global pandemic. He’s been a Military Police officer, served in aviation, operations, logistics, and in the Joint Staff as Security Cooperation Officer. He earned two Bronze Stars and a Legion of Merit. And he's also a "super geek" who went from playing Dungeon and Dragons as a kid to a lifelong love of science fiction and fantasy. (Courtesy photo.)
