U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Retina McCarter, 93rd Signal Brigade Headquarters and Headquarters Company information assurance noncommissioned officer, received the Military Citizen of the Year award, and she was inducted into the exclusive Sergeant Audie Murphy Club. She believes interacting with other Soldiers and those in the community is the best way to learn and grow, and by being a stalwart NCO to her Soldiers and an active volunteer within the community, she can grow alongside them.
