Mr. Hill was responsible for the inception of the Officer Candidate Program currently in use by the states today. Through Mr. Hills diligent service, many of today's Army National Guard infantry officer's received their commissions.      CPT (Ret) William Everett received the Centurian Award for outstanding contributions to the infantry.

Congratulations to our inductees for a very well deserved award.

The theme for this years 2001 Dining out was "Infantry through the Ages".  Reinactors from the area dressed in era specific uniforms to bring the historical aspect of the infantry to life. Our histroical interpretors set up displays that ranged from early colonial encampments to camoflage netted WW II scenarios. Outstanding job.
