Saluting the three JrROTC cadets who stood true to their military training and dedication to serving this nation via helping their fellow students survive. May they rest in peace.

They interviewed a young man who helped usher about 70 students to safety (inside closets and large ROTC room)and held a Kevlar panel to door so they wouldn’t get hurt The young cadets were working hard to do their duty during the attack. Many more would have lost their lives without their training.

Thanks for the ping.
These students did exactly what you would expect cadets in the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps to do. Salute.
