Well... we may not be there to join you, but we have a bench at the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center! This park hosts community events, ranging from musical concerts to cook-offs! The next time you are there and need to take a rest, TFC would be honored if relied on us to give you that much needed break.

TFC bench will be in a prominent spot around the BVMC Memorial Plaza!

The Florida Chapter would like to recognize and honor fellow OCS graduates who gave all in service to our country from 16 to 20 March.

29 Officers were killed in action. For action taken during this time, 3 graduates were given awards, one of which is the Medal of Honor and all 3 awardees have been inducted into the OCS Hall of Fame.

These men paid the ultimate sacrifice and have contributed to the honor and legacy of OCS through their service. The Army value Selfless service is defined as, "Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort."

From 11-15 March, the Florida Chapter would like to honor OCS graduates who gave all in service.

Our post looks different, as we utilized the Army OCS Database. You can download a day-by-day snapshot of OCS graduates who gave all in service and read their stories. This is a living document and errors may occur, but our team is working diligently to ensure the OCS legacy and those who have contributed are honored and remembered.

Light a candle in remembrance of a fellow classmate, friend, distant relative or to honor the brave Soldiers who served our country.
