Mental health is an issue that the Army as an organization deals with every day. Last week, MAJ Chris Mercado visited South Dakota State University to discuss warrior wellness and spread the word about mental health to our Cadets. Aside from mental health, MAJ Mercado talked about the importance of spiritual health, physical health, and emotional health. Remember, it’s up to you to start making healthy choices, not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind. #MindfulMonday #inspired

In celebration of Military Appreciation Week, we would like to recognize the Alumni of the SDSU Army ROTC Program. Pictured below are Jeff Johnson, Jerry Duba, and Bernie Ellis on a class reunion float from the Platte High School Homecoming Parade earlier this fall. As seniors in high school in 1969, John L. Johnson, who was a Major in the South Dakota Army National Guard, took the three of them to Camp Rapid to interview for ROTC scholarships. These interviews ended up in a 20+ year career of commissioned service for all three them. Jerry and Bernie graduated and commissioned from the SDSU Army ROTC program. Thank you Jerry Duba for sharing such a life changing event!
