1SG Benson R. Gatchalian Retirement Ceremony Live

1SG Benson R. Gatchalian Retirement Ceremony

After 22 years, 4 months, and 7 days of service in the United States Army, it’s time to close this chapter with honor and gratitude.

I would be honored if you would join me for my Retirement Ceremony as I officially transition out of uniformed service.

Location: The Centennial

Date: Tuesday, 27 August 2025

Time: 1030 hrs

This ceremony is more than a farewell — it’s a moment to reflect on the journey, acknowledge those who walked with me, and celebrate the path ahead. Whether you served with me, mentored me, or stood by me and my family, your presence would mean a great deal.

I hope to see you there as we mark this milestone together.
