Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the Commanding Officer of Second Battalion 5th Marines, Lieutenant Colonel Brian D. Coleman. Welcome to the Relief and Appointment Ceremony in which Sergeant Major Manuel M. Taylor will relinquish his duties as a Battalion Sergeant Major 2, Sergeant Major John A. Trickler. Let us pray. Lord, as we gather here today, I lift before you, Sergeant Major Taylor, and Sergeant Major Trickler. I thank you, Heavenly Father, for their sacrifice and dedication to 2-5. Bless this ceremony, and may we give you glory, Father, and all that we do. Amen.
