United States Corps of Cadets Weekly Wrap-up 22 JAN - 28 JAN 2012 4 REG Community Service th Although classes have only been in session for three weeks and everyone is beginning to have busy schedules, companies have begun to invest themselves in community service events. All of the regiments are leading the way in company-based volunteer projects, especially with Habitat for Humanity, Wounded Warrior events, and events to honor old graduates who were killed in combat. CDT Danny Garcia, a member of the Class of 2014, initiated a volunteer program in Company D-4 to honor fallen old graduates, especially those from D-4. CDT Garcia and his Company Commander, Picture of the D-4 fallen soldier bracelet, taken by Cadet Heather CDT Heather Purkey, Class of 2012, have initiated a Purkey, D-4 Company Commander. comprehensive program in their company. Every cadet in the company wears a bracelet that states the name and information of a fallen graduate. Every Thursday morning, the company gathers together after morning formation and two D-4 cadets share a story they learned about their fallen graduate. The intent is to honor the sacrifice of those who have passed before us, while building cohesion as a company. All of the proceeds from this project go directly to the American Widows Project, a fund which helps families of those who have lost someone in combat. The company has already raised over $250 for the fund. Additionally, the Long Gray Line Team, a cadet-run organization, is going to send nine cadets and officers, including Major Michael Denehy, the current B-1 Tactical Officer, to New Mexico to compete in the 23rd annual Bataan Memorial Death March. This march, which is organized and sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, honors the sacrifice of the 76,000 American soldiers who marched over 60 miles in harsh conditions upon the onset of World War II . The team, which recently sent 95 cadets and officers who successfully participated in the Marine Corps Marathon, will wear a 35 pound ruck sack during the duration of their run. The race will be organized into five man teams, which will each run 25.2 miles through the sandy desert and hills of White Sands Missile Base. The Long Grey Line Team is raising money for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). This program is dedicated to assisting the families of both wounded and deceased soldiers. Their goal is to raise $7,500 for TAPS. If you are interested in donating to the Long Grey Line, please contact CDT Louis Tobergte at Louis.tobergte@usma.edu. Written By CDT Elizabeth Constantino
