Memorial Day - one of the most important days of the year. Most teenagers probably enjoyed their time off doing fun activities not thinking twice about it. Not this group of Cadets - they realize they are part of something bigger than themselves. Cadet Ryan Sarno sang the National Anthem and played Taps. Cadet Nola Fitzgerald gave remarks, and sang Amazing Grace. Cadets Hayden Everett, Connor Kennedy, Alexa Najera, Sarisha Bello, Nola Fitzgerald, Ethan Thomson and Darian Davila-Zarate performed a 3 shot volley (21 Gun Salute). Many of the Cadets never shot a weapon before and they overcame their fears to make this happen and honor our fallen.
Awesome job today recognizing those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and thank you to the Glenwood Springs Elks and American Legion for ensuring this event continues.
