Today, Glitter Bro #1, a.k.a. Colonel Douglas LeVien '94 retired from the United States Army after 30 years of service with a nice retirement ceremony broadcast live from the Army Garrison in Vincenza, Italy. Doug is a fan's fan. He and I road-tripped to games when he was stationed in the US, and even though he's been overseas for the past several years, he almost always managed to catch Kale's broadcast. A former baseball player who started as a walk-on and made all conference his senior year, he hit one of the longest home runs ever out of Hank DeVincent field. Before the ceremony, each of the retiring soldiers had a slideshow with various pictures from over their years of service. In addition to the standard army shots, Doug included a couple of pictures of us at La Salle games when he was home. Congrats to Doug, and thank you for your service!

Congrats to Doug and his family. I hope they return to the U.S. and choose to live close enough to La Salle so they can see a lot of games in person at the new Glaser Arena.
