Salome Clarke ’17, now a first lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, leads Cornell students during the Watch Fire ceremony in 2017. Vietnam veterans honor Cornell ROTC: ‘They had our backs’
May 20, 2021
Cornell’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) – known as the Tri-Service Brigade – has received the Certificate of Patriotism from the Vietnam Veterans Association’s New York State Council, the council’s highest honor.
At the same time, the national Vietnam Veterans of America, headquartered near Washington, bestowed its highest honor, the Achievement Medal, on the brigade May 10.
The Tri-Service Brigade was nominated by the local Vietnam Veterans Association’s Chapter 377 of Dryden, New York, to illuminate the strong 30-year bond between the students, who will become future U.S. military officers, and the region’s veterans and their families.

During my 22 years as a security correspondent, I covered various operations in which gardaí and troops sealed off particular areas they were about to search. Some called it a ring of steel , a phrase I didn t like and never used. However, I must admit a ring of steel would have been appropriate in describing the lockdown of Washington, DC, for the inauguration of Joe Biden as US president last week.
Then came news that the National Guards themselves were being screened in case any of them might have allegiances to extremist groups. A chilling thought that one of them, or someone posing as one of them, might turn one of those rifles on the president.
