Throughout the academic year, we witness the transformation of these cadets into responsible, respectful, and resilient individuals. Your role as parents is pivotal in shaping their futures, and we recognize the sacrifices you make to ensure their success.

From participating in virtual parent town hall meetings to cheering cadets on during athletic events, your active participation strengthens our academy’s sense of community. Your unwavering support during birthdays, celebrations, and challenging moments fosters camaraderie and reinforces the bonds that tie us together.

As we navigate the rigors of military life, we remain grateful for your trust in our institution. Your sons are not just cadets; they are part of a legacy that spans generations. Together, we uphold the values of honor, integrity, and excellence.

In closing, I extend my deepest appreciation to each of you. Your commitment to Fork Union Military Academy enriches the lives of our cadets and ensures their journey toward becoming principled leaders.
