VICENZA, Italy \u2013 Command Sgt. Maj. Jonathan Dyon looked back on his time with U.S. Army Garrison Italy on Dec. 7, following a ceremony where he relinquished responsibility.<\/p>\n

Dozens of community members gathered at the event, held in the gym at Caserma Ederle, to bid Dyon farewell. Dyon was among the leaders who helped the community through COVID-19. During an interview with The Garrison Outlook Dyon pondered on how far things have come since the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing out of Covid, it was just really great to see all the things that (the pandemic) forced us to do in the virtual space to enhance our services that we provide for this community,\u201d Dyon said.<\/p>\n
