One of the Veterans in attendance this night was Mr. Ralph Overstreet. He was born Oct. 7th 1916.
He served in the U.S Navy Seabees during WWII.
Mr. Overstreet is the great grandfather to cadets Clayton and William Brand.
We were told that Mr. Overstreet does 10 push ups and 10 sit ups every day and still goes to work 6 days a week.
It was a true honor to have all the Veterans in attendance this night.
