Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

CSM Gaskin wrote the following letter of thanks.
"I received the coveted 12th Infantry Regiment Tomahawk last week at CSM George Lewis’ farewell luncheon. First, I will not open the card sent with the Tomahawk until I complete my tour of duty successfully in June when I will pass responsibility to CSM Willie Woods. I am however, very proud and humbled to have received such a gift from you and the members of the 12th Infantry. Please know this will ALWAYS be proudly displayed in my office or home when I retire. Both George Lewis and I have done our best to maintain the legacy of this great Regiment and I am proud to be a part of the history of this organization. I trust this email finds you and your Family in good health and happiness in our complex and troubled world we live in. I look forward to opening the letter you sent in June! "
Lewis added: "I am extreme fortunate to have served as RW7 for so long and will never forget all the good times I shared with our Soldiers. I also appreciate your continued service to the Regiment, we could not have had a better Regimental Commander than you. As I make my transition to Fort Shafter, I will always remember the Regiment and the legacy that continues to grow.
Sir, please send my thanks for the parting gift to the team. Awesome. My wife loved it, heck she might clock me across the head with it if I get out of line so I’ll hang that in my new office for security reasons."
