83 RD GRAND CHAPTER MEETING: BUSINESS SESSION HIGHLIGHTS
Sponsor Acknowledgements During Third Business Session
Lt. Col. Caggins: On behalf of Major General Chris Hughes, the Commanding General of the United States Army Cadet Command, the headquarters of Army ROTC, I bring you greetings. The United States Army has decided to partner with our fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, because we share similar objectives. Like Kappa the Army wants college men of culture, patriotism and honor. Like Kappa the Army wants to inspire service in the public inter- est. And like Kappa the Army is training for leadership. In fact the Army ROTC program is a leadership factory. Yes- terday at the undergraduate luncheon on our outstanding young Brother James Jefferson, an ROTC cadet at Jackson State University, received a $45,000 scholarship check... ask you, my Brothers, to find the talent. Some of the talent is already wearing the crimson and creme, some of these are people you know, young men and young women who are looking for a challenge, who are ready to step up and serve our country and lead soldiers on behalf of our great nation. Go to ArmyROTC.com and we will have more generals. Last night at our Military Veterans Awards banquet I counted at least 20 Army stars in there. And I know that there's many more out here in these seats and in our col- leges across the country. So on behalf of Army ROTC, thanks for our partnership and we look forward to continuing in the years ahead.
