 The musical accompaniment is entrusted to the fanfare of the 11th Bersagliere Regiment of the 132nd Brigada Corazzarta Ariete di Orcenico Bordenone, directed by the Major Sergeant Luigi Vicedomini. For Colonel Matthew Garmlock, the outgoing commander of the United States Army Garrison, Italy, we give you thanks. We're grateful for his wit and wisdom, his challenging leadership, his professionalism, his dedication to the mission of the Vicenza military community. For our devotion, dedication and tireless efforts on behalf of the soldiers and the families of the U.S. Army Garrison, Italy, a single red rose is also being presented to Colonel Garmlock's daughters Penelope and Eliza, a bouquet of yellow roses to Mrs. Cathy Horrigan. The color yellow symbolizes the bright future of a tenure with a community and symbolizes a warm welcome to have from the U.S. Army Garrison, Italy team. At this time, the official party is moving forward for the traditionally passing of the colors. The history, traditions and accomplishment of the organization are embodied in its colors and with the transfer of the organization's legacy is passed as a building rock for future performance and achievement. Command Sergeant Major Dion will pass the organizational colors to the outgoing commander. In turn, Colonel Garmlock will pass the organizational colors to Mr. Mice, signifying the relinquishment of command. Mr. Mice will then pass the colors to Colonel Horrigan, signifying the trust and confidence that the U.S. Army installation management command and income Europe has in Colonel Horrigan. This exchange also signifies that Colonel Horrigan is now the commander of U.S. Army Garrison, Italy. Colonel Horrigan will then pass the organizational colors back to Command Sergeant Major Dion. This really is a significant event for the Vicenza military community and that includes our Italian hosts. We've been incredibly fortunate to have the leadership of Colonel Garmlock for the past two years. Senior civilians, commanders, command senior enlisted leaders, distinguished government officials, community leaders, family and friends from the Vicenza and Derby military communities, thank you for joining us at this very special ceremony. It's a very important occasion and you humble and honor us with your presence today on their critically important strategic role serving as the Army's power projection platform south of the Alps. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in a round of applause for these great Garrison employees for all they do. This is the best Garrison in the United States Army. And it's a testament to Matt's leadership and all the teammates that he has and his great team that he's built. Italy is also a country of great writers and great poets. To not make any trouble, I prefer to remain humble and quote a pop singer instead. In the words of Cesar Cremonini, there is something great between us. Anyway, I feel the same way, largely because of the time I spent with family, teammates, colleagues, friends and community members from Vicenza and Pisa. You've all made me a better leader, a better officer and a better human being. Thank you. Ready Garrisons for a stronger Europe and we are the Army's home south of the Alps. What you do truly makes a difference for both the soldier, the civilian, as well as their family as they come and leave Italy. La nostra partnership es fuerte. Sono certe che insieme. Faremo grandi cose. I want to thank everyone for attending and I'll leave you with just one message from my predecessor. Una comunità. Grazie e buona giornata a tutti.
