Schools play a vital role in inspiring students to chase their dreams and pursue paths that reflect courage, dedication, and purpose. Among the most honorable of these paths is serving our country—a commitment that represents one of the highest forms of selflessness. As we guide and support these young individuals, let us proudly honor those who choose to serve by allowing them to represent the military branches they will one day join. These students stand ready to protect our freedoms, and in doing so, may one day pay the ultimate sacrifice. They are the future leaders of our armed forces, and they deserve our full respect and recognition.
Enlisted in the armed forces for a 17 or 18 year old is a massive step for them, they are choosing to do dangerous, physical and mentally demanding jobs in rough environments. For someone who is just a kid new to the world making the choice to join the military says they are willing to suffer and endure pain most of the country wouldn't do even for a million dollars.
They have stoles for "accomplishments in high school", anyone can do any of the academic programs there are stoles for. Enlisting and taking the oath and signing the dotted line at MEPS while still a student is still a accomplishment in high school.
As an incoming freshman who is hoping to join the JROTC at Chatham, I am disappointed to learn that wearing these stoles is against graduation dress code. Graduation is the moment you become a real life adult, and that should be recognized, as well as what you’ve done on the path to get there. If you can’t wear a symbol of your commitment to this journey it takes away from the significance that these stoles truly represent. Show how proud you are of your country and the soldiers that will serve to keep your home safe Mark Jones.
Graduation is a big part of the transition from kids to adults and it is important to understand that it is about the kids. They made it that far, they put in the effort to succeed, they deserve to wear symbols of their achievements and who they are going on to be as new adults. Let them show us who they plan to become.
