Blog #4 The highest honor to bestow on our war dead

Hi again cadets and welcome back again to your 4th Blog Post.  This week we are staying with our courtesies and this one has to do when a person serving in the military is killed and they are buried.  Watch the following video and post your response as to what type of courtesies are displayed during the film. Write how you feel after watching the video and then find another video that gives respect to our military as a courtesy for their sacrifices that they make for their country.  As LET1's you are starting to get the hang of the blog and for those that are doing so, keep up the great work. Help your fellow cadet's out if they are having problems and let's build a stronger team. Here is your video:

Blog #3 Military Customs, Courtesies and welcome back

Hi again cadets and welcome back to your second semester of JROTC. I hope that you had a great week off with Regents and that your testing went well. For those of you that did exceptionally well, I hope that you were satisfied with your semester grades. For those of you whom were not, I hope you take the challenge to improve and make the changes that you need to in order to raise your grades. Your task this week it so select on of the Military Customs or Courtesy's that you are learning about in class and to explain what new information you learned about your selection in class. In addition to this, you must find a related online story or video and post the link to your work that supports your selection.  Here is my example and selection to help you with this one.  My selection is the Hand Salute and here is the video:

Good luck and don't forget to comment on your peer's selections as well. I look forward to reading your work and responses and hope to return to class shortly.
