"The effects of the Marine Corps JROTC program reach far beyond the
classroom and into the community in developing character, leadership, and civic
responsibility in tens of thousands of America's kids. Marine Corps JROTC at
its essence is a character education program. The program keeps kids in school,
helps them find their way during the turbulent teenage years, and assists them
in becoming productive members of their community. Our program produces young
men and women who are ready to accept the responsibilities as well as the
privileges of citizenship. We are rightfully proud of our contribution to
America's future and thankful for the dedicated instructors, staff, school
administrators, and communities whose hard work and commitment make the
program's success possible. " |
