As you know, Rick Noriega was in Chicago a few days ago to be at Yearly Kos. While I'm sure he'd have liked to stay there longer, given the enthusiastic response he got from everyone he met, he had an important reason to cut short his visit: Yesterday, in San Antonio, Lt. Col. Rick Noriega was sworn in as the Commander of the 1st Battalion, 141st Infantry Regiment. This was a public ceremony at the Alamo, and the Walker Report has pictures of the event. Check it out.
