Local DAR hosts 4th
Annual ROTC Demonstration Open House
Fort GreeneVille DAR Hosted the 4th Annual ROTC Demonstration Open House
Daughters of American Revolution Fort Greenville Chapter in conjunction
with Greenville High School NJROTC hosted a drill demonstration at
Greenville High School Gymnasium. The Greenville High School NJROTC
gave drill demonstrations to the DAR members, family and friends. The
DAR chapter donated $50.00 to the ROTC program.
The chapter also awarded Cadet Chief Petty Officer Kelsey Gilbert with
the JROTC Bronze Medal. According to GHS ROTC Captain Denman, “She has
been instrumental in training this years new group of Freshman and she
has recently taken on the job of our Administrative Officer. She is top
shooter on my Marksmanship team and marches with all four drill teams."
Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR also presented Cadet Gilbert with a letter
of intent to sponsor her in the 2016 Miss Annie Oakley Shooting Contest
in July.
The DAR Chapter also recognized Captain Denman. Captain Denman will be
retiring this year from GHS. The DAR recognized Denman for instilling
traits such as patriotism, academic excellence, dependability, good
character, military discipline, leadership, and the importance of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps at Greenville High School.
Denman attended Ohio State University, graduating in 1975 with a
Bachelor of Science degree in Education. Completing the Aviation
Reserve Officer Program, he was commissioned an Ensign in January 1976.
Denman served 30 years in the US Navy. He commanded the Patrol Squadron
Forty-Six and Naval Air Facility in Misawa Japan. Denman acquired over
4,000 hours of flight time as a Naval Flight Officer in seven models of
the P-3 Orion aircraft. In July of 2005 Captain Denman retired from
active service. He is retiring this year as the Senior Naval Science
Instructor at the Greenville Senior High School after 11 years. Captain
Denman led a very fulfilling and commendable career in the Navy and
with the GHS ROTC.
The GHS ROTC also promoted their officers during the demonstration.
Captain Denman promoted Kelsey Gilbert (DAR 2016 JROTC Bronze Medal) to
Cadet Master Chief (a Senior Enlisted position in the Company).
