Like most Army ROTC programs, the University of Maine conducts an annual staff ride for their senior class. This event offers a unique opportunity for historical research for the cadets and gives them a chance to take a deep dive into a historical campaign or subject. In the past, this likely meant spending a lot of time with dusty books, but not in 2021.

Delmore Adams is displayed during a terrain walk and battle analysis event that replaced the traditional staff ride held by the University of Maine Army ROTC program April 24, 2021. A veteran of 3rd Infantry Division and a resident of Maine, Adams was twice awarded the French Croix de Guerre as well as the Silver Star for his bravery as part of the 3rd ID in 1917-1918. Artifacts like the uniform were used to teach cadets about what individuals like themselves did when put into harrowing situations in the crossroads of history. (Courtesy Photo, Capt.
