The Pemberton High School JROTC Color Guard presented The Colors at the closing ceremony of the 2022,  2nd Brigade Ranger Challenge.  This was a huge event for a very young Color Guard which consisted of: Hannah Ryder – U.S. Flag, Darlington Sarpong – Cadet Command Flag, Matthew Griggs – Rifle, Ty Penon – Rifle.  After the ceremony, the Cadets were presented with challenge coins from the 2nd Brigade Commander, Colonel Kandace Daffin for a job well done!
