On April 23, the Zephyrhills Elks Lodge Veterans Committee members attended the Zephyrhills High School JROTC graduation ceremony for seniors. This event marked a milestone for the young cadets, who had dedicated their time and effort to the rigorous training and values of the JROTC program. The program motivates young people to be better citizens by instilling values such as citizenship, service, personal responsibility, a sense of accomplishment and leadership. The Veterans Committee donated $1,500 to the JROTC.
