Gloucester JROTC Team Visits State House
Boston-
On Thursday, June 01 the Gloucester High School Junior Marine Corp JRTOC team
visited the Massachusetts State House as the very special guests of State
Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) and State Representative Ann-Margaret
Ferrante (D-Gloucester). The legislators invited the team to the capitol to
recognize its outstanding achievements and the exemplary way in which these
students have represented Massachusetts in national competition.
Among
those achievements are winning the National Championship in the Unarmed
Exhibition Drill and placing third in the Unarmed Regulation Drill at the
National MCJROTC Drill Team Championship in Irving, Texas.
Tarr
and Ferrante welcomed the team to an informal session of the Massachusetts
Senate, where Tarr introduced them to the members, staff and other guests of
the Senate. Following the session the group was photographed with the
legislators in the well of the Senate chamber and Tarr and Ferrante provided
personal tours of both the Senate and House chambers and Memorial Hall,
with particular attention paid to the many points of recognition of those who
have served in the armed forces throughout history at the State House.
