Tiger Cheers for the 100th Anniversary of ROTC at Princeton

Co-president of the Class of 1970 Mickey Pohl and I were delighted to see the PAW article on the ROTC centennial celebration (On the Campus, Dec. 4), with some of Princeton’s most illustrious ROTC graduates highlighted. Our 50th-reunion class is one of the very few in recent history to have three flag officers represented among our number, one for each service: Marine Maj. Gen. Drew Davis ’70, Navy Rear Admiral Kirk Unruh ’70, and Army Brig. Gen. Steve Xenakis ’70, all of whom were present for the centennial event.

We are very proud of these and other classmates who participated in ROTC during our college years and served the nation for decades thereafter; they were honored at the celebration as they honored it with their presence.
