Yesterday, the MS3s and MS4s of the Suncoast Battalion hosted their Military Ball! A night full of friends, celebrations, and goodbyes. A huge thank you to Brigadier General (Ret.) Liller for coming to celebrate the night and speak with us, and a special thank you to First Command for donating towards our ball. This was also a great way to say goodbye to Major Cooper and to thank him for an amazing 2 1/2 years with the Suncoast Battalion, as he moves on to bigger things! A wonderful event to finish the semester off strong! 🇺🇸

This is 10-yr old Maddox, son of our Battalion's XO Major Michael Cooper. He is diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome known as Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) which results in several developmental, intellectual, and physical delays. Maddox loves competing in Special Olympics with his buddies from Connerton Elementary School. He competes in Softball Skills, Basketball, and is a 2020 Gold Medalist for the State of Florida in Soccer skills.

Tomorrow Jersey Mike's will be supporting the Special Olympics by donating 100% of tomorrow's purchases in the state to the Special Olympics. Please go out and support all day tomorrow!

Maddox, we salute you.

Had an amazing opportunity to spend time with a 98 y/o WWII Air force veteran (Maj Jerome Rosenberg) at First Watch - Riverview this morning, while eating breakfast with the family after church!! What started as an a older gentleman’s praise of how cute Jhia is turned into an amazing realization that I am speaking to a living legend that flew several flights over the Pacific during WWII. I am so grateful for his service to this nation! ❤️ 🇺🇸

From LTC Macias to MAJ (R) Rosenberg we thank you!!!

Oh yeah he spent 6 yrs in the Army!! Hooah!!! 😘
