“Today more than ever, our nation’s newest and youngest service members need to know that
their community and their country stand behind their decision to serve our nation”, Dr. Kenneth
Hartman, founder of Our Community Salutes. “College-bound seniors and Division 1 athletes
get much recognition. For our nation’s military-bound seniors, this is their signing ceremony”,
