The Golden Knight Battalion is made up of Cadets from all four of the schools in the North Country (Clarkson, St Lawrence, SUNY Potsdam, and SUNY Canton). Each of the schools adds something special to the mix. Although they all bring unique qualities to the Battalion they all become part of the Battalion quickly. The mix was a good one again this year. Again this year the graduates from SUNY Potsdam were all prior service or drilling Guard/Reserve members. Of special note, Cadet Dudley had been one of the local recruiters prior to making the jump to the Green to Gold program. We also want to thank COL (retired) Bill Murphy and Colonel (retired) E. Michael Polao who were our guest speakers at SUNY Potsdam and St Lawrence.
