Clemson's Pershing Rifles - Company C-4

Congratulations to our members who received their rings this past weekend! We were honored to take part in such a special ceremony and important day by guarding the rings.

For the past 2 months, 3 of our members have been training to compete in the Bataan Memorial Death March in White Sands, New Mexico. Despite the event being moved virtually, our members decided to travel out west and complete the 26.2 mile ruck march to honor and remember those that suffered and endured the Bataan Death March that happened 80 years ago. We are so proud of all their hard work and dedication!!

Company C-4 won Varsity Rifles 2022!! We are so extremely proud of all the work our members put in over the past year to win 1st place overall out of all collegiate companies at NATCON! Huge congrats to our color guard team and armed regulation drill team for winning 1st place in their individual category and a job well done to our unarmed regulation drill team and armed exhibition team for successful routines. Congratulations Company C-4!!

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of recently promoted Brigadier General Beverly N. “Ben” Skardon. General Skardon was born on July 14, 1917 and grew up in Walterboro, South Carolina. He served in the Army following his graduation from Clemson in 1938 until he retired in 1963. He survived the Bataan Death March and continued to have a very successful military career. General Skardon is a hero to everyone and we are deeply saddened by his passing. Company C-4 sends our condolences to General Skardon’s family and the entire Clemson community. He will be missed by everyone.

We were honored to be a part of the South Carolina Veterans Upstate Salute this past weekend. This event was held to show support of our nation’s veterans through a fun evening full of displays from local military organizations, vintage warbird flyovers, a concert featuring Jefferson Starship, and a firework display to close out the night. Thank you for including us in this special event!!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of taking part in a 9/11 remembrance ceremony to honor those who lost their lives. We want to thank Lieutenant General Duane A. Gamble, U.S. Army Deputy Chief of Staff, and MAJ Hickman for coming to Clemson to be apart of this ceremony. We are honored to have had the opportunity to help honor and remember the fallen. Thank you for capturing these photographs.

September 11th, 2021. Today marks 20 years since the terrible attacks that occurred in New York City. We remember and honor all those who lost their lives, and our thoughts are with their family and friends. We want to thank all first responders and military members who have continued to keep up safe. We will never forget.
