Our CVA Navy JROTC cadets Presented the Colors and performed a drill routine to a crowd of students, staff, and veterans at the Richfield Springs CSD Veterans Day assembly on Nov. 10. The American Legion in Richfield Springs has been one of our program's biggest financial supporters. This partnership speaks to level of respect and appreciation our veterans and cadets share for each other.
