Sword Presented in Charleston

On Saturday, May 9th, the Sword of Excellence - the symbol of the best of 42 AFJROTC units in South Carolina - became the possession of Wade Hampton for the first time. But it will not be the last. Mr. Radford and his wife accompanied the instructors and cadets to Charleston AFB for the presentation at the South Carolina Air Force Association Convention. Ms. Catherine Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Jake Hinnant also joined us for the special event.

The "Sword" was presented to SC-954 by the Vice Commander of 9th Air Force, Major General William Holland, and the Director of AFJROTC, Colonel Richard Ragaller. Our Area Administrator, Colonel Wade Hampton Williford, was also at the ceremony to support our unit's award. The cadets enjoyed a fine lunch, but they enjoyed the ceremony even more as they posed for numerous photos. Kevin Hinnant was also presented with the Cadet Air Force Association Award. We will re-present that award during our annual awards ceremony on May 18th.
