Standing on a stage next to the Times Square Armed Forces Career Center for the May 11, 2024, Turban Day event, Lt. Col. Tejdeep Singh Rattan, an Army dentist with the Army Reserve's Medical Readiness and Training Command, San Antonio, Texas, and in private practice, shared his gratitude for being able to serve and remain a faithful Sikh, keeping his turban and beard. "I was embraced by the U.S. Army in 2009, and now there are plenty of Sikhs serving without any kind of questions asked." (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Neil W. McCabe)
