Sgt. Maj. Mike Vining: The Man. The Meme. The Army Legend.

The retired EOD technician and founding member of multiple elite units, Vining made his mark on Army history early in his career when he helped destroy a weapons cache with over 7 million rounds of ammunition.

He gained fame online as the subject of Army memes, thanks to his unassuming demeanor and stack of medals.

In honor of his birthday, here’s a small part of his incredible story.

@SecMullinDHS on preventing cartels from smuggling drugs: “They are shifting their focus into Alaska and into Canada, going south into the United States. So we are working hard…to prevent it and make adjustments.”

It was determined that a helicopter hoist would be needed, so a request was put in to the Colorado Army National Guard’s High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site.

CENTCOM Statement on Recently Fallen, Missing U.S. Service Members

TAMPA, Fla. — On July 17, two U.S. service members in Jordan were killed in action as U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. Additionally, one service member is currently missing.

Four American service members were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have returned to duty.

Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified.
