Duffel Blog names Lt. Col. Jeffrey Sinclair 'soldier of the year'
As an objective and fair news organization, Duffel Blog always strives to convey not only the truth, but also an image in keeping with high journalistic standards — one not tarnished by favoritism toward a certain branch of service or specific military member.
However, the Editorial Board feels strongly that we must honor the service and sacrifice of one such soldier, and it is with great pleasure that we can announce Lt. Col. Jeffrey Sinclair as our 2014 "Soldier of the Year."
Not many soldiers achieve the rank of lieutenant colonel at his age and years of service. It's a sign of his particular devotion to a code of conduct that most ordinary people no longer understand. He is the kind of anachronism that only the Army can produce.
