Proud to Serve
STA alumni speak about their military duty
For the spring 2011 Saber, we invited active duty servicemen and veterans, along with some academy and ROTC alumni, to share their thoughts and experiences about military duty. Due to space limitations in the printed magazine, we were not able to include every statement from the 63 alumni who responded. They are listed below with branches and areas of service (to the best of my ability from their statements - MMC).
