Sgt Lamme instructs his fellow soldier how to achieve a 600 on the ACFT
I marched almost 100 miles in the 4 days March of the world, after which I spent nearly 50 hours creating a video for the 44 ESBE Facebook page catologuing many of the special moments we shared as a team representing our Unit and the U.S. Army
The team struggled through three long days of marching through the summer heat in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Not only did Sgt Lamme create this videos and all the animations therein, but all the music copyrights were obtained and catalogued to ensure legal distribution.
An avid artist, Sgt Lamme is creating a major digital animation project which he markets consistently. Below is an outline of exactly what this project entails.
