When these soldiers are defending our country, '98 will be there. I mean you win that presidential election. Success is a classmate away. I would like to thank and personally congratulate all of those members of this class that have received or will be receiving their military contracts. I am very fond of you all and wish you the best of luck, and maybe when you are all generals you can become president or commandant of The Citadel and the rest of us can be S.C.U.M lieutenants.
Today is a great day.
I am sorry you did not have a chance to get to know us better. You would have seen what we were determined to be, and if you were there to see our recognition you would have know what The Citadel system produced. The future looks promising. The sky is the limit. Furnished with their ring of gold, bonded together by each other.
