US Naval Sea Cadets support Wounded Warriors
Liberty (AGTR-5) Division of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is joining forces with Mr. Anthony Ponte of Atlantic Beach, NY to support our local Wounded Warrior Project.
“The Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a non-profit youth organization devoted to instilling our young cadets with respect for our Nation as well as reverence for the men and women who protect our freedoms, many of which are not much older than our cadets. Participation in the Wounded Warrior Project is a great way to enable our cadets to learn about and to respect those who gave their all to preserve our way of life” said LCDR Forrest Woodward, the Division’s Commanding Officer who recently returned from a deployment in Afghanistan.
“Young people too often think that war is exciting and glamorous; they need to understand what it’s really about and appreciate the sacrifices these service men and women make on a daily basis. Excellence means being a good citizen. A good citizen means Cadets are involved in their community, and being engaged in programs like the Wounded Warrior Project; which gets the Cadets involved in Community Affairs and that’s a good thing” said LCDR Woodward.

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (NSCC) is a nationwide organization dedicated to helping American youth realize personal success and achievement through a nautically oriented training program. Through Sea Cadet leadership, young Americans ages 13 through 17 develop interest and skill in basic seamanship and its naval adaptations, while learning the value of patriotism, courage, self reliance, teamwork and accountability, and the value of education. Continued success and participation in the NSCC is dependent on maintaining good grades in school.
Membership in the Sea Cadets allows teenagers to sample military life with no obligation to join any branch of the armed forces. Should cadets decide to enlist in the Navy or Coast Guard, their training may allow them entry at an advance pay grade. The Naval Sea Cadet Corps affords equal opportunity for participation to all young Americans regardless of race, color, religion or sex.
