Davis Jefferson
traveled to Charleston, SC, this week to attend his "little"
brother's graduation from The Citadel. Samuel P. Jefferson
graduated cum laude with departmental honors in Education.
In addition to his ROTC and cadet responsibilities, Sam played
lacrosse and made dean's list every semester. During the summers,
he earned his Airborne wings, trained with the Special Forces, and
visited U.S. bases in South Korea. Sam was commissioned as 2nd
Lieutenant in the US Army, and will report for duty with the Corps
of Engineers. We are very proud that Sam is part of The Citadel
tradition that spans back to 1842. He has already proven himself a
strong leader; we believe he will be a fine officer as well.
The commencement address was given by Marine General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Pace offered the graduating cadets the following advice:
1. Grow where you are planted.
2. Check your moral compass regularly.
3. Have the courage to make decisions.
4. Take care of those in your charge.
This is advice that can be applied to the business world as well as the military. The full text of the commencement address can be found here.
