Below are some of our recent accomplishments.

Richard's Story

"He wanted to be a general officer, and he had what it would take to be a general."

To our knowledge, we are the only non-profit in the country supporting ROTC cadets from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), working to build bridges and break down racial barriers in the military.
