January 9, 2016 Master Gunnery Sergeant Harry Elliot Memorial NS1 Drill Meet, Nottoway High School
Our Drill team attended a very special event this week in Nottoway. Designed for the NS1’s (first year cadets), it helps to build leadership and talent in the unit by allowing only the newest members of the team to perform. It is also a great leadership opportunity for the junior class to lead the NS1 team. This event is hosted by the Nottoway High School NJROTC, which had been led by Master Gunnery Sergeant Harry Elliot. Master Sergeant Elliot, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, passed away unexpectedly right before Memorial Day weekend in 2015. Only one day before he was to be honored for his upcoming retirement from the school and two years after the NJROTC program was launched, his passing was much too soon. His cadets would have made him very proud in the way they carried out this Drill Meet in his memory.
