I watch for the videos to post every year since people started recording them. No words but much respect...very much.

Good post, but, I think I can guarantee he is not doing it for any recognition for himself.

Yes I have heard of the Staff Sergeant and have seen video. It would be an honor to met him in person.

I have not had the privilege of meeting GySgt W.A. Ekblad, But from first glance He does appear to be a trooper that is squared away. Uniform is
taken care of and His posture shows great respect for what he is doing.
