The Lewis & Clark Young Marines concluded their Memorial Day weekend by participating in the Community Military Appreciation Committee (CMAC) Ceremony at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The ceremony was a heartfelt tribute to honor our heroes, featuring inspiring speeches from notable figures such as National Parks Service Superintendent Tracy Fortmann, Vancouver Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle, University of Portland’s Professor of Military Science, ARMY ROTC Lieutenant Colonel John P. Toll, and Combat Veteran and Purple Heart recipient SSG (Ret.) John Kaiser, US ARMY. The event concluded with a Unit formation where YM/GySgt Rider, C. was awarded the CMAC Certificate of Appreciation for his dedicated volunteer service in the Armed Forces of the United States. Oorah!
