Three area cadets complete course
Terrence J. Horne, Christine F. Muders and Cory J. Middleton graduated from the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as "Operation Warrior Forge," at Fort Lewis in Tacoma, Wash.
The 32 days of training are designed to train and evaluate cadets in military life, administration and logistical support.
