 Secretary of the Army John O. Marsh Jr. pins an eagle on the shoulder of Colonel Robert Stewart during a promotion ceremony at the Pentagon on March 1, 1984. Stewart's wife is assisting and General John A. Wickham Jr., Army chief of staff, is looking on. Stewart was the first Army astronaut to fly in space aboard Challenger on mission STS-41B. |
