Our Speaker Today:
Lt. Col. Son D. Vo,US Army
Lt. Col. Son D. Vo. spoke to us today about the ROTC program in South Florida. He oversees the program on 250 cadetes. The program is currently at capacity and can not accept any more cadetes, although it is very difficult to turn away qualified individuals who want to serve their country. The program is hard to get in to and hard to get out of, but once you are in the program is very structured. Cadetes are told where to be, when to be there, what to eat, etc. In 4 years they can be sent overseas and this May 5,000 ROTC cadetes will be commissioned as active lieutenants.
Veteran's Day is coming up and our speaker took time to acknowledge all of those who have served and are serving to ensure us the freedoms we enjoy in our country. Without them, we would not and could not be where we are today. There are many stories of sacrifices made by soldiers for their country, and they rely on the support of communities like ours. This Veteran's Day we honor all of those who have and will serve their country - 11/11/11.
