CMSgt Shawna L. Hopp’s Retirement Ceremony

After 22 years in uniform, our family is closing one chapter in a story that has been anything but ordinary. The pages have been filled with challenge, triumph, heartbreak, pride, growth, and above all, unforgettable characters — the teammates, mentors, leaders, friends, and family who made this a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Like any great novel, there is no true ending — just the beginning of a new chapter yet to be written. As we turn the page, we want to pause and celebrate the story so far with the people who helped shape it, support it, and inspire it.

My family and I invite you to join us for my retirement ceremony as we honor this remarkable chapter, reflect on the journeys we’ve shared, and toast the unwritten adventures still to come.
