Meyers and the Mouse - Sarge

Honoring Kelly & Ivone: The Sarge Military Recognition

Tonight, we gather to pay tribute to one of the most esteemed and revered members of our community, a true hero in every sense of the word. As we bestow upon him the Sarge Military Recognition, we honor not only his extraordinary courage and sacrifice but also the profound impact he has had on the lives of those around him.

Serving in the United States military is a privilege that few are called to, and even fewer answer. It requires a level of dedication, bravery, and selflessness that few can comprehend. Yet, for individuals like the recipient of tonight's award, it is a calling that they embrace wholeheartedly, willing to put their lives on the line to protect and defend the freedoms we hold dear.

The importance of the military cannot be overstated. It is the backbone of our nation, the bulwark against tyranny, and the guardian of our liberties. And behind every soldier stands a family, offering unwavering support and sacrifice, sharing in the burdens and triumphs of their loved ones in uniform.

Tonight, as we honor Ivone and Kelly, we pay tribute not only to his remarkable service in the military but also to the incredible strength, resilience, and dedication of his entire family. Together, they have faced adversity with courage, met challenges with determination, and emerged stronger and more united than ever before.

Meyers and the Mouse embodies the spirit of Sarge, the tough but compassionate leader from Disney and Pixar's "Toy Story." Like Sarge, he leads by example, inspiring those around him with his unwavering commitment to duty, honor, and country. His bravery, integrity, and selflessness serve as a shining example to us all, reminding us of the true meaning of service and sacrifice.

Tonight, as we present Kelly and Ivone with the Sarge Military Recognition, we express our deepest gratitude for his service, our admiration for his courage, and our unwavering support for him and his family. May their legacy of honor, sacrifice, and service continue to inspire us all for generations to come.
