The Richmond Senior High Cafeteria was full to capacity Thursday evening as the JROTC "Raider Battalion" conducted its annual Awards Night along with a "Swearing In Ceremony" for the soon-to-graduate Raiders that have elected to serve in the US Armed Forces.  

     “Our event grows every year,” stated Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Jon Ring, the Senior Army Instructor.  “The audience is the greatest that it has been in my three years here and we included two new additions to the program.  We wanted to honor our graduating seniors who have completed the JROTC program with at least four semesters so we announced each of them as they were escorted into the room, passing through the Sabre Arc, to be recognized.  The next addition was to recognize and honor those seniors - whether in JROTC or not - who have decided to join the Armed Forces.”
