Marshalls parliament praises US Army commander for Covid action


MAJURO — Marshall Islands hospitality and warmth was on full display Monday during a special recognition ceremony for the United States Army commander of the Kwajalein missile range.
U.S. Army Col. Jeremy Bartel was called to honor by Nitijela (parliament) Monday in what Speaker Kenneth Kedi said was an unprecedented ceremony in the chamber to recognize Bartel for his contributions to the Marshall Islands.
Bartel, who commands the U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll, flew into Majuro Monday for the ceremony in the chamber and was joined by U.S. Ambassador Roxanne Cabral for the event.
The Nitijela’s last day of a session that started in January started off as usual with roll call and preliminaries, but quickly shifted to skipping ahead to the resolution section of the agenda to allow the members to address Resolution 41 honoring Bartel, who is scheduled to depart the U.S. Army Garrison-Kwajalein Atoll in early July. ....

We are getting vaccinated at the same time as people in the United States, said Health Secretary Jack Niedenthal. It is a great thing the US government is doing for us. This is a great day for all of us. ....
