  NJROTC Thanksgiving Food Drive a Success web posted November 28, 2007 JOHNSTON – Since November 1st, the cadets have been collecting food for Thanksgiving from students, faculty, janitors, administrators and parents. The National Wild Turkey Federation donated 40 turkeys through the Turkey Hunter’s Care Program to Strom Thurmond’s NJROTC Unit. This year the cadets, boosters and instructors delivered food to 46 families in Edgefield County. This was the largest food drive in the past seven years, surpassing last years’ delivery to 36 families. The NJROTC Program develops and educates the cadets to be informed and responsible citizens. At 3:30 PM on November 19, 2007, two instructors, six NJROTC Booster parents, the Mayor of Johnson and 21 cadets set out to deliver food to 46 families in Edgefield County. Every year the cadets bring tears of joy to those families in need for Thanksgiving. For three hours the cadets displayed a value of citizenship and a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes the NJROTC Unit is over shadowed by others due to their successful accomplishments. Hopefully the community will recognize what the cadets (14 to 18 years old) have accomplished, their willingness to sacrifice and the determination to give to those in need. The Senior Naval Science Instructor, Chief Warrant Officer McClendon and Naval Science Instructor Petty Officer Face are very proud with the cadets, NJROTC Booster Club, Mayor Campbell, students, faculty, janitors, administrators, and parents that assisted us in the collection and delivery of the food to those families in need, “thank you for giving”. A special thanks goes out to the National Wild Turkey Federation for donating 40 turkeys. ©
