"Education is the most powerful weapon
which you can use to change the world."
-- Nelson Mandela

Dear Parents, Grandparents and Guardians,

Last Friday was an interesting day on campus. In the morning, radio talk show host John Fredericks hosted 'The John Fredericks Show' live on campus. The show began around 6:00 a.m. and ended at 10:00 a.m. John interviewed several people on campus, to include four Cadets.  Cadet Spence Walker and Cadet Payne Nunn interview segments were saved. Check them out. They did an outstanding job!

Congratulations once again to our Fall Athletic teams. On Friday evening Hargrave celebrated the success of our young men in sports. Some of the stories our coaches shared on Spirit and Coach's Award winners highlighted a lot of great character development in our Cadets.

Hargrave's Corps of Cadets, the Highlanders, the Hargrave Marching Band and the Camden Rifles presented and excellent Veteran's Day Parade on Monday, November 11. While Hargrave has plenty of veterans on campus, others joined us from the local community as well. The CIS department hosted a reception for all veterans after the parade. Our young men the 7th, 8th and 9th grade had an opportunity to engage veterans that fought in Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Vietnam, Korea and even WWII! They learned history from those who lived it.

Maj. Leftwich with "The Leftwich Legacy" author 1st Lieutenant Michael Dan Kellum, USMCR at the 2/1 memorial dedication.
On November 8, 2013 at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, Virginia, Marine Vietnam veterans dedicated a monument to honor those who served and those who died while members of the 2d Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division (Reinforced) in the Republic of Vietnam. The principle speaker was Lt.Gen. Jack W. Klimp, USMC (ret), who served as a platoon and company commander in 2/1 while in Vietnam. Major (USMC, Ret) Bill Leftwich's father commanded the battalion from April to September 1970. The money for the monument was raised by the 2/1 veterans, and approximately, 300 of them and their families attended the ceremony. A great article on Maj Leftwich can be found at "The Leftwich Legacy." Hargrave's Maj. Leftwich is Hargrave's English Chairman.

 
Best Regards,
