Bob Simmons introduced Staff Sgt. Burciaga who in turned introduced Donald Bode as Cadet Of the Month. Staff Sgt. Burciaga outlined the many leadership qualities Cadet Bode exemplified as a junior in the ROTC program. Bode humbly took the microphone and commented, “I didn’t think I deserved this honor so I don’t have that much to say. Thank you.” Refreshing. .jpg)
We walk on starry fields of white
Over the river, and through the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow.
