103rd UNITED STATES ARMY CADET CORPS BIRTHDAY


One hundred and three years ago, Captain James H. C. Smyth created a military oriented organization to teach citizenship and patriotism to the young men of New York City and give them a chance for adventure. A centennial later, the United States Army Cadet Corps continues this tradition by teaching young men and women from New York to California the values of Commitment, Achievement, Discipline, Education, Training, and Service.
