I'm Lieutenant Chris Cecil (USN Retired) in my fourth year as the the Senior Naval Science Instructor with Pacifica High School in Garden Grove California.  Our 4 member Academic Team just placed 2nd in the Regional (Arizona/California) Academic competition qualifying them for the NJROTC National Competition next month at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Florida.  So we are asking for donations to fly our four cadets and I to Orlando Florida and for lodging.  We need to get to achieve our goal in the next two weeks so we can reserve airline tickets and hotel rooms for the stay.  This entry into the National Competition is the second time in four years for our program.    This is a tremendous opportunity for our program, school, and community as it would provide memories for our cadets to last a lifetime!  I truly appreciate your time and consideration in helping my cadets in this event!!
