    A native of Montpelier, La., Goynes was joined on stage at the ceremony by his mother and father, Kathy and Donald Goynes, and his 9-year-old brother, Dylan.

    Col. Jacques D. Thibodeaux, commander of the 139th Regional Support Group, presided over the event and pinned Goynes with his new rank during the ceremony.
