Stumble It!Army Chief of Staff General George Casey was the guest speaker at the 25th Annual David E. Grange Best Ranger Awards ceremony.
This year’s winners were Staff Sgt. Shayne Cherry and Staff Sgt. Michael Broussard.
Both men are from Fort Benning's 75th Ranger Regiment. General Casey told News 3 the Best Ranger Competition is a good exercise for all rangers to take part in.
