The night before Leadership Day 2018, cadets, students, faculty and staff will hear the inspiring story of Medal of Honor Recipient Sgt. Kyle J. White.

I am the first in my family to graduate from The Citadel, but I hope I am creating a legacy for others here.

When I called the college to report my injury, the Navy ROTC office told me that my contract would be cancelled and I would have to wait to matriculate.

I have chosen to honor my two brothers on my own Band of Gold. In their memory, I have inscribed “CR & AR” on my ring, so that I know that I will always carry them with me.
