The men and women involved in the ROTC program at Syracuse University, spent Veterans Day morning 2010 participating in a ceremony honoring local military members. For these college students, Veterans Day service was much more than a chance to pay respects to those who have served, it was an opportunity to consider their own roles each will play as military leaders in the near future.
Cadet Colonel Son Lee is the student leader over the Air Force ROTC cadets. She says she is deeply honored by the veterans who stood in Hendricks Chapel. Considering the sacrifice they have made and the experiences they have had, she said makes her feel like a child who has yet to experience it all. And yet young as she is, it is no wonder why she is in charge of the group as she explains her view on leadership: service towards others.
And just like the veterans who are honored this day, Son Lee and all of the other ROTC students will one day be veterans themselves - providing the service of freedom and democracy to us all.
