SUNY Plattsburgh Army ROTC

This morning Cadet Marcus Moore continued the tradition of the 9/11 stair climb. Cadet Moore climbed 110 flights stairs to remember those who had lost their lives 15 years ago on September 11th, 2001. He was accompanied by 2nd Lieutenant Cody Sayward who was a recent graduate from the Plattsburgh Army ROTC program. Never forget.

Congratulations to both Cadets Martin and Moore on completing the Plattsburgh Half Marathon this morning! It was CDT Martins 3rd time running in this event and CDT Moore's second time and first time rucking the event. Congrats to both these guys and a big thank you to the Plattsburgh community for showing great support.

SUNY Plattsburgh cadets Sayward, Martin, and Moore pose at the 86th New York Infantry Regiment memorial at Gettysburg National Park in Pennsylvania as part of the Green Mountain Battalions annual Staff Ride. The 86th New York was mustered in 1861 under the command of Col. Benajah P. Bailey in Elmira, NY. Known as "Steuben Rangers", the 86th New York held key blocking positions during the Battle of Gettysburg which contributed to a victory by the Union Army known as the Army of the Potomac.

Here is a great photo of former Plattsburgh Cadets; now 2nd Lieutenants Prufer, Rohrig, and Christian. All three are currently going through their Medical Service Corps BOLC at Fort Sam Houston in Texas! Awesome job guys and keep up the hard work!

This morning our cadets helped the Plattsburgh community salute World War II and Korean War Veterans as they departed for Washington D.C. While at the nations capital, these heroes will take a tour of the National Mall and get a chance to view the memorials that were constructed in their honor. These are special men and women and we were happy to honor them on such a great day!

Some more great news today as MSIII cadet Marcus Moore signed his contracting papers and officially became a contracted cadet in the United States Army! Congratulations to Marcus and the rest of the cadets on your accomplishment! It's a great day to be a Cardinal and a great day to be a part of the Green Mountain Battalion!

Each cadet climbed 110 flights of stairs to match the number of flights in the World Trade Center. We were fortunate enough to be joined by our Senior Military Instructor MSG Levy from our host school at the University of Vermont. Never forget.
