An Army astronaut has received one of the rarest military uniform devices. Col. Andrew “Drew” Morgan received the Army astronaut device from Lt. Gen. Daniel Karbler, commander of Space and Missile Defense Command, during a May 5 ceremony at the National Museum of the United States Army at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. “Army astronauts are more than astronauts,” Karbler said. “They represent the Army, serving as ambassadors to the public. NASA has long recognized the skills and qualities of military astronauts. “Col. Morgan represents the ‘human element’ of Army space capabilities, like so many SMDC Soldiers around the world.” Morgan, along with Army astronaut Lt. Col. Anne McClain are the only active duty Soldiers who have received the device, considered by many to be one of the rarest qualification devices a Soldier can receive.
