Yes, it is the last day of me sending my emails about this day or week in Military history. I know you are all sad.
This week in Military History July, 17 1863 – The combined attack on Fort Wagner, Charleston harbor, was renewed.
Most importantly, we should thank our leader for the past 14 years. Major Clark has been a leader in so many ways, shaping our kids, commanding them to achieve greater things than we can possibly imagine. From CLC, Bataan Death March, Marathons, working with Msgt Powell and Msgt Blake, or simply guiding our kids or giving encouragement to our unit and many other tasks - Major Clark is one of a kind. We thank you for all that you have done. Enjoy your retirement!!! ~Dave Barkasy (Past President)

It has been a pleasure being the SASI at ARHS for the past 14 years. The unit has received many outstanding years over the years due to the hard work of cadets, parents, and instructors. All the cadets who have completed AFJROTC and graduated from ARHS have gone on to accomplish many outstanding achievements in their lives. . The instructors constantly hear back from the cadets on what an impact AFJROTC has on their lives! Please give Colonel Wilkinson the same outstanding support you gave me and the other instructors the last few years!
