Dear Polar Bears,

I don't think you all were thanked enough for the training you all provided at USMA this past summer. I was an ROTC cadet out of Western Michigan University, and the training was second to none that I have encountered in my ROTC career. I was fortunate enough to get a slot to CFT, and wouldn't have wanted anyone else as instructors. Thank you for the invaluable knowledge provided by your troops.

Giddy Up,

Matthew J LaFleur
