SGM (R) Budhu, Anand B., and SFC (R) Everding, Franklin from Meade County High School Army JROTC have exciting news about the Mighty Riptide Battalion Color Guard from 7th Brigade’s recent success at Homecoming! This impressive group has garnered a local sensation this year. The program has been up and running for four years, but it wasn’t until this year that they finally donned their uniforms and made their debut. The Meade County JROTC program has truly become an integral part of the community, and the Color Guard has been a source of pride for all involved.

Color Guard is led by Cadet LTC Smith (BN Cdr) with the American Flag, Cadet CPT Hopkins (Aco Cdr) with the Kentucky State Flag, Cadet MAJ Jones (BN S3) Rifle Guard next to the Kentucky state Flag, and Cadet SFC Ingle Rifle Guard next to American Flag.
