The 2008 Dept. of the Army NCO and Soldier of the Year "Best Warrior" is complete and Army Reserve "Best Warriors" Staff Sgt. Francisco Gutierrez and Spc. David Obray along with the other 22 major command competitors are on their way to Washington, D.C.

After attending the GEICO pasta dinner this evening, they will get to experience the Army 10-miler from the reviewing stands on Sunday...a welcome relief after being on their feet for most of this past week during the NCOY-SOY competition.

Monday is the big day when this year's NCO and Soldier "Best Warrior" winners will be announced during a luncheon hosted by Sergeant Major of the Army Kenneth O. Preston at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) annual convention in Washington, D.C.
