“I was amazed to see all that goes on here to support our troops serving overseas,” James stated. “It was also interesting to be a part of a team building process. One of the things we did was take apart a pilot’s helmet and put it back together.”

“It made me feel good to represent Morgan County and I would encourage others to apply for enrollment in the future,” he added.
