So pleased to honor West High School in Knoxville, TN with their 1st Army SSG Ryan Christian Knauss merit scholarship winner! Well Done, Gilbert Kuhlman! You seem to be the perfect choice for this honor and leading the way with your JROTC unit! Many thanks to Mark LaBello, DCCS(SW), USN (Ret.) Naval Science Instructor

NJROTC Unit and his team for 20 years of tremendous leadership after previously retiring as a veteran. We not only gain a JROTC enlisted cadet and his unit but great veteran leaders winning minds and hearts of our youth with rigor, discipline, and principles that will follow these cadets during their lifetimes.
