摘要：	With the passing of colors and brief remarks from each, command of the Corps' Great Lakes and Ohio Division passed from Maj. Gen. Robert F. "Bob" Whittle Jr. to Col. Kimberly "Kim" A. Peeples in a June 11 change of command ceremony. The 30-minute outdoor ceremony in Cincinnati, Ohio, was broadcast live on the district's Facebook page for those who could not attend in person due to COV-ID-19 restrictions. It began with the presentation of eight red roses representing the division and its seven districts being presented to Whittle's wife, Kathleen Whittle, along with welcoming gifts to Peeples' husband, John, and son, Van. The gifts represent- ed the support and contributions made by loved ones. Following the playing of "Honors" and the national anthem, as well as the invocation and the formal reading of orders, the division's flag was then passed. As explained by the emcee, the unit's colors are the commanders' symbol of authority, representing their responsibility to the organization. "Wherever the commander is, there also are the colors," he said.
