My son got nominated to attend the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C. And I am trying to raise enough money for him to go. Would you be so kind to pass along the following web link to his page that tells all about him and why he gets to attend through the JROTC program.

Please pass this around and thank you for your time. God Bless
A Rehobeth High School senior is getting the opportunity of a lifetime. Bryce McKee is a Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) student and has been invited to the 2017 Presidential Inauguration.
This past October, Gunny Morgan gave the 17-year-old the opportunity to go to Washington D.C. for a National Youth Leader Summit, where he was the only student to represent the state of Alabama, as well as area 8 of the NJROTC.
"It was very, very intense,” said McKee, the senior at Rehobeth. “Being by myself in a place I had never been to… it was kind of scary."
Close to 500 students from around the country came to the summit. McKee was nominated to be the president of the group, which took part in a mock world war crisis. They even got to meet President Barack Obama.
"It opened my eyes,” said McKee.
Gunnery Sergeant Morgan said the trip cost McKee and his family $3,000, and now he is getting the opportunity to go back to D.C. for the Presidential Inauguration in January, which will cost him around $6,000. A trip he is hoping to make if his family can come up with the money.
