(from left) Army Reserve Ambassadors Beau Ruff, Kurt Hardin, and Jon Pan, all from Washington state, introduce themselves during the 88th Readiness Division Army Reserve Ambassador Workshop on 14 Sep. 2024 at Fort Snelling, Minn. The Army Reserve Ambassador Program is one of the ways the 88th RD builds connections to our many communities. ARAs are recommended and vetted through the division, and then appointed by the Chief of the Army Reserve. They hold an honorary rank equivalent to that of a Major (two-star) General. And they do all of this on a volunteer basis, for no pay. (U.S. Army Photo by Staff Sgt. Bob Yarbrough)
