A friend, a mentor, a husband and father. Jaime is our senior sergeant. Jaime is our azimuth for what Wright looks like. What Wright has always looked like. And what Wright will continue to look like in our Army. You are the reason why it's so hard to leave. The people that have had the privilege to serve side by side. The friendship and mentorship will never be forgotten. Sergeant Major Lopez received a standing ovation as he bid farewell to the Spartan Brigade. Staff Sergeant Justin McClaren, Fort Stewart, Georgia.
