Horse Guard News And Notes

Captain Edward Anuszewski begins 2012 newly elected to the position of Executive Officer of the Second Company Governor’s Horse Guard (2GHG). The executive officer is the second in command of the unit and is responsible for overseeing the training of troopers, promotions of personnel, approval of the unit’s schedule, and other duties. He assists the unit commandant, Major Gordon Johnson, in keeping the troop trained and operational at all times. Captain Anuszewski, a 22-year veteran Connecticut State Trooper, admits he’s still grappling with the size of this new position he’s volunteered for.

The troop has voted Cpl. Lisa Plucinski as this year’s recipient of the Major Edward Mursko Award. This annual award goes to an active member that the troop believes has conspicuously and consistently demonstrated those qualities which are essential to the continued growth and success of the unit. Cpl. Plucinski will receive a citation and a ribbon for achieving this award.
