Veterans Day

Veterans Day Ceremonies

The ROTC program conducted several ceremonies throughout the varies school that participate in the ROTC program on Veterans Day, Tuesday November 11th. They did one at De Pual, North Park University and NEIU. They also performed a ceremony at Loyola. I helped out with ensuring that the students at Loyola would be ready. They conducted a dress rehearsal on the Monday before around 4pm. I watched them as they went through their rehearsal and critiqued them on it. I helped them with any questions they had as well as any thing I seen that could be done better. One major contribution I had was making sure they conducted the drills right. For example, making sure they saluted at the right time or marched the right way as well as the commands. They also did another dress rehearsal on the day of the event at 8:45am and then another at 11am. The actual ceremony began at 11:15am.
