These Colors Don't Run!


Representing the United States of America, our U.S Army Cadet presented the Colors at the Bourbon County Fair three evenings last week, executing in an outstanding manner. Commanded by C/SSG Cutter, and accompanied by C/SSG Clifford, C/ CPL Hammond, and C/SGT Puryear, the USAC Color Guard really impressed the citizens of Bourbon County.   

The Cadets worked extremely hard to prepare for this event, logging in hours of practice prior to the event. It was definitely a learning experience for both parties; there has not been a Color Guard at the County Fair in several years, and this was the first of many Color Guards sent from Forest Hill Station as we look towards the very near future.  With Forest Hill Military Academy opening in August, we will be able to support more and more Color Guard requests.

Note from COL Land:  PFC Kristina Webb, a new member of our cadre and here at Forest Hill Station for the summer, was instrumental in assisting the Cadets as they practiced for this performance.   PFC Webb is a former JROTC Cadet, and award-winning Color Guard member, who has been "born again hardcore!" by joining USAC and living on Forest Hill Station this summer.  Well done PFC!
