Ruthie's Graduation from ROTC

Ruthie graduated on Saturday from a summer ROTC training program and did very well. She was her Platoon sergeant- in charge of 52 people. This is her platoon marching in at the beginning of the ceremony. She is in the last row, second person in.


















Here they are saluting for the National Anthem.


















...and they march off the field. Ruthie is in the last row, in the middle.


















Ruthie stands at attention.























Ruthie's game face- pretty good isn't she?























Dad, mom, Ruthie, me and AJ after the graduation.

... And the drill sergeants had one last chance to "somke 'em!" before they left!


















I am so proud of Ruthie and she did such a great job during the training. She is a great girl and I am proud to call her my sister!
