The Colonel Battalion has been keeping busy before the fall break. Tech. Sgt. Phelps of the USAF Honor Guard Team stopped by yesterday afternoon to coin Cadets that participated in the Missing In America Project's last two cremains committal ceremonies.

Technical Sergeant Phelps coined each of the Cadets with a coin resembling the Base Honor Guard team emblem and educated the Cadets on the tradition of military coining.

We were also lucky to have Mr. Christian Klaas and Mr. J.T. Payne present for the recognition of these cadets.

We were thankful for this new opportunity and experience. Photo credit: HCHS JROTC Alumni Isaac Dixon
