JROTC

Matthew
James

My children received awards last night for their JROTC program at school. They always look dashing in their uniforms. James is a corporal and Matthew a sergeant. The ceremony was too long but nice. It is amazing how much support they get from the community. I like this program it teaches them a lot. During the program a mother of a graduate got up to talk. Her son was in this program and went on to join the service. While serving in Iraq he was killed. I respect what this program does for the kids, but I'm a selfish person and I pray that my boys choose not to serve in the armed forces during a time of war.
