“The retirement of these two gallant officers is not the end of service but the beginning of a new phase of impact,” Odita stated.
"We are proud of their exemplary conduct and modest contributions to humanity, which perfectly reflect the values our organization stands for celebrating individuals who make remarkable differences without necessarily seeking the spotlight.” he added.
