A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE SILVER BLUFF HIGH SCHOOL NAVY JUNIOR RESERVE OFFICER TRAINING CORPS FOR CAPTURING THE 2008 NJROTC STATE DRILL CHAMPIONSHIP, AND TO WISH THE TEAM MEMBERS AND THEIR INSTRUCTORS ALL THE BEST IN FUTURE COMPETITION.

Whereas, well prepared for the challenge, the Silver Bluff High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) once again carried off first place at the 2008 NJROTC State Drill Championship; and

Whereas, honor, courage, and commitment join with superlative showmanship in the NJROTC, the latter demanding great strength, diligence, and followthrough; and

Whereas, displaying all these traits, the Silver Bluff NJROTC drill team proved itself a perennial powerhouse to be reckoned with at the state competition, held at Cape Fear High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, as part of the NJROTC Area 6 Drill Meet; and

Whereas, Lieutenant Commander Ron Freeman and Chief Charles Neighbors, with grueling practices, hard work, and determination, built their drill program into a championship team and have kept it that way; and

Whereas, their unceasing labors both inside the classroom and outside of it paid an extra dividend this year with the team’s nomination from Area 6 to represent South Carolina at the Navy National Drill Meet, to be held in Pensacola, Florida in April 2009; and

Whereas, expecting to hear of further success in years to come, the members of the House of Representatives take great pleasure in honoring the young people of the Silver Bluff NJROTC drill team for their exceptional discipline and winning showmanship. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Silver Bluff High School Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps for capturing the 2008 NJROTC State Drill Championship, and wish the team members and their instructors all the best in future competition.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal J. Todd Bornscheuer, Lieutenant Commander Ron Freeman, and Chief Charles Neighbors of Silver Bluff High School.
