Executive Proclamation
State of South Dakota
Office of the Governor
Whereas, Chief Warrant Officer Four Brian L Maschino's dedication to service has made him a valuable asset to this state and country; and,
Whereas, we have very few occasions to recognize these patriotic individuals who leave the comforts of their home and family to nobly serve a cause greater than themselves; and,
Whereas, Chief Warrant Officer Four Maschino has devoted over 42 years of his life making sacrifices that demonstrated no mission was too hard, no challenge was too great, and through tests and trials he emerged stronger than before; and,
Whereas, his loyalty and leadership as an Automotive Maintenance Warrant Officer and his service in Operation Enduring Freedom have made him a cornerstone in the Armed Forces of this country, and it is a privilege to honor his success, his sacrifice, and his service; and,
Whereas, Chief Warrant Officer Four Maschino continues to give of himself, and our future is brighter thanks to his dedication; and,
Whereas, it is fitting and proper as Governor to commend Chief Warrant Officer Four Brian L. Maschino for over 42 years of dedicated and outstanding service to this state and country:
Now, Therefore, I, Kristi Noem, Governor of the state of South Dakota, do hereby proclaim April 4, 2022, as Chief Warrant Officer Four Brian L. Maschino Day in South Dakota.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the state of South Dakota, in Pierre, the Capital City, this twenty-eighth day of February in the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Twenty-Two.
Signed, Kristi Noem,
Governor

Editor’s Note: We at the Gazette heard about this proclamation by word of mouth a few weeks ago, and sent a request to the Governor’s Office to send us a copy of this official document to reprint for our readers, which they did, late last week.
