So...what did you do last week? Did you have fun with your cadet brothers and sisters, go on patrol, work out, meet a senator, be with the Governor, help lead a parade, learn new skills, become stronger, develop friendships, learn about the US Army, our nation and serve your community? We did...and you can join us!
