Today, our Wildcat Battalion had the privilege of recognizing a very special member of our team, Charlie Steiner, on his retirement after 24 years of dedicated service as a school bus driver.
For many years, Charlie has been the primary driver for our JROTC program, safely transporting cadets to competitions, field trips, parades, leadership events, and countless other activities. His professionalism, reliability, and positive attitude made him much more than a bus driver, he became part of our JROTC family.
As a small token of our appreciation, we presented Charlie with a retirement plaque featuring a photograph of our cadets during a Veterans Day Parade, along with a Battalion Challenge Coin. These gifts symbolize the gratitude and respect our cadets and instructors have for his years of unwavering support.
Charlie, thank you for the miles traveled, the early mornings, the late nights, and the genuine care you showed our cadets throughout your career. Your impact on our program will not be forgotten.
On behalf of the entire JROTC Battalion, congratulations on your well-earned retirement, and best wishes for the road ahead!
