Congratulations to the David G. Ouellet Division of the US Navy Sea Cadet Corps for an outstanding annual inspection.
As many of you may know, I am beyond proud that my older son, Thatcher, is a first year League Cadet in the Gloucester Division of the US Navy Sea Cadets. So, I was beyond pleased to be in attendance to observe Regional Director, LCDR Landry as he inspected the division yesterday morning at the Gloucester Coast Guard Station.
He had many complementary things to say about the division and their growth, development, camaraderie, and more. He also noted that they have grown from the smallest in numbers to the 3rd largest division in the region.
They really are a very impressive group…due to their incredible leadership.
Lead Petty Officer, Ryan Litch, received an award from the VFW. In fact, this award was the first of its kind awarded to any member of the Ouellet Division. The award was presented to him by Commander Brian O’Connor, Senior Vice CMDR John Ellis, and Junior Vice CMDR Bill Ellis. LPO Litch was also presented with the Cadet of the Year award by Gen Guimond from the Massachusetts Council of the Navy League. My son, as one of the youngest of the Navy League Cadets, looks up to Lead Petty Officer Litch more than he may ever know.
My family, and many others, are incredibly thankful to the US Navy Sea Cadets in general, most particularly the David G. Ouellet Division and its leaders, instructors, and volunteers for all that they do, embody, and share with the cadets in their care.
