At Lt Col Katherine Eckert's (USAFA ‘03) retirement ceremony on February 3, 2024, her squadron commander opened the ceremony with a God Bless the USA song and slide show Bill made as a present to her and the squadron. Bill has been making these for military retirement ceremonies going back to his days at Florennes Air Base in Belgium, in 1987.

You'll see Katie growing up with Bill and Sue, her Air Force career, marriage to Jeff Stout and their son Elliot. With your sound turned up, click the picture at the left to view the song & slide show.
