MILITARY POLICE . 19-15-1 8 Class Robert Keiser (Retired). The Military Police Regimen- tal Association established the Military Police Corps Hall of Fame in 1992 to recognize and honor former members of the Military Police Corps who made signifcant contributions to the development of the Corps. Nominations for induction into the Hall of Fame are solicited worldwide each year. Military police Soldiers came together for a regimental run on 24 September. Brigadier General Mark S. Spindler, Chief, Military Police Corps Regiment, and Commandant, USAMPS, indicated that the run is one of his favorite events. "The regimental run is one of the best things in the world to do. There must have been 3,000 to 5,000 troops out there," he said. Following the early morning run, Brigadier General Spindler addressed the formation. "You can't help but ab- sorb the pride I felt running with you all. It's under the com- mands before me that the great work of the Military Police Corps is conducted. Your tireless work is to preserve our fghting force. Whatever tomorrow brings, the Regiment will be ready," he added. "The same thing that has been true over the last 73 years is that we will not fail and we will always prevail." Halfway through Regimental Week, a retreat ceremony was conducted at the MSCoE plaza. The American was by many representing different military police units within the Regular Army, the U.S. Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard. Brigadier General Spindler said, "I think what I like the most about retreat is that every day it gives us time to pause and put our troubles aside. It gives us time to recommit ourselves to the higher cause for which we joined these ranks—that being the service to our Nation. You stand shoulder to shoulder with your battle buddies for a moment and render honors to the Nation. I feel pride as an Army professional to hear retreat." Families of the Military Police Corps Regiment Soldiers also participated in Regimental Week activities, where they were faced with the challenge of wearing their loved ones' combat boots for a day. Participants learned self-defense techniques, and they learned how to apply They also went through marksmanship training using paintball guns. Ms. Cyndi Bisacre, a USAMPS spouse, said that—even though learning to shoot the paintball gun was the most fun event for her—her favorite part of the day was spending time with other Family members. "Anytime you have the opportunity to share camaraderie with fellow spouses and enjoy a wonderful day together and team build, it is awe - some," she said. "The Military Police Regiment is our life. We are excited to celebrate something we are all a part of. I'm proud of what my husband does." The celebration ended with a regimental ball, which was held on the evening of 27 September.
