Sen. Steve Hobbs led a reenlistment ceremony in the Legislative Building today for three proud members of the US Army. Hobbs, who is a member of the Washington Army National Guard and proudly served in Iraq and Kosovo, gave a short speech about the significance of the oath, thanked the men for their service and led them in the oath.

The oath for enlistment was created in 1775. Sen. Hobbs took his oath in 1987.
