FLORENCE, AL (WAFF) -
Vietnam veteran James Battcher commissioned
into the US Army through UNA's ROTC program. When word spread the program will
continue, the 1966 graduate let his feelings take over.
"We've always been a top organization, ranked
high in all the summer camps. I called the school and spoke to the cadre. I
think it's really super that they're going to give us a little reprieve," said
Battcher.
Monday's annual Veterans Day program served
as a celebration on campus – a celebration of second chances, a celebration of
heroes, and a celebration of life for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"It's a strong feeling for all those who gave
the supreme sacrifice. I knew quite a few of them; they were classmates of mine
so for me it's emotional to come back every year," said Battcher.
The UNA ROTC program will not be shut down as originally planned.
