NEW YORK, N.Y. – Sgt. First Class Michael Gray, New York native and member of the 199th Infantry Brigade, was assigned to Joint Task Force – National Capitol Region in support of the state funeral for President James Earl Carter Jr., from Jan. 1, 2025, to Jan. 9, 2025.
The joint task force led coordination of all military ceremonial support for the state funeral in the National Capitol Region and throughout the state of Georgia. Nearly 400 Fort Moore-based personnel supported the nine-day funeral operation – which officially began New Year’s Day – and worked as part of Task Force-Georgia.
“It is an honor to be part of such a historic event that paid homage to the man and the legacy of the 39th President of the United States,” said Gray, reflecting on his time with TF-Georgia.
Gray was among the approximately 4,000 service members from all branches of the Department of Defense supporting the state funeral through a variety of ceremonial, security, and logistical roles. He is the son of the late Michael and Jackie Gray.
