    ***Photographer's note****

    I have enjoyed working with the Cadets of Delta Company for this summer. Watching them grow was an extraordinary experience for me, not only as their photographer but as a friend. Throughout this summer, Cadets faced many things together, including the hardships of training as well as being away from home. They became friends who supported and motivated each other to keep going strong. This was evident in their final PT test when the faster Cadets finished their two-mile time then kept running back to run next to others who hadn't finished to encourage them and to never let them give up. I am proud to have worked with such an exceptional group of leaders, and I wish each and every one of them good luck in their future careers. Thank you for letting me be a part of  this company.

    Best Wishes,

    Sammy Jo
