Gentlemen -

It is my understanding that the Alumni Director,  Ms. Erin Wolley, is  
no longer employed by VFMAC.  No further details are available;  
however, I thank her for her sincere efforts working on behalf of all  
Alumni during her time at the Forge and wish her well in her future  
endeavors.

More information will be provided as it becomes available.

Cheers,

Rick Forno '90 '92C

(c/o VF official announcement)

It is with great sadness that VFMA&C announces the death of United  
States Army National Guard Captain, Ronald George Luce, who graduated  
from Valley Forge Military College, and was commissioned as a Second  
Lieutenant in the Senior ROTC Early Commissioning Program. Ronald was  
killed in action on August 2, 2009, while serving in Afghanistan. His  
father-in-law, from Strafford, PA reported the sad news to VFMA&C on  
Monday morning.

The information that we have at this time is that Ronald was serving  
with the Alabama National Guard unit, Operation Enduring Freedom in  
Afghanistan.

The entire Valley Forge Community wishes this young American hero's  
family our most sincere condolences. Ronald is survived by his wife,  
Kendahl Denise; father, Ronald and mother, Katherine, who reside in  
Sneads Ferry, NC; and his brothers and sisters.

Ronald's name will be placed in the Book of Remembrance along with the  
other 127 cadets of Valley Forge that have paid the highest price to  
be called an American. A memorial service will be held in his honor  
during a Sunday Chapel Service in September 2009. Further details will  
be made available on thewww.vfmac.edu/news_all.html.

Subject: [sticklist] - Capshields & Leadership Detail Observation

Gentlemen,

An interesting item on the VF home page that I wanted to bring to your  
attention.

If you go to the Photo Scrapbook under "Leadership Detail Graduation"  
and look carefully, you will notice some Cadet officers and NCOs  
graduating from the 2009 leadership detail who are NOT wearing  
capshields at their graduation parade -- thus indicating that they  
have not yet mastered their Capshield Requirements.

Specifically, I refer you to photos #112 and #198 for a Regimental  
Captain apparently without a capshield; photo #176 shows a Cadet First  
Lieutenant without a capshield, and photo #189 shows a Cadet junior  
NCO without a capshield on this chapel cap.

I have no further information on why this has happened, but should an  
official explanation offered, I will relay it to the Sticklist.

Cheers,

Rick '90 '92C
