On
Monday, April 22, 2013, Medal of Honor recipient and Army Capt. Robert Foley encouraged students and teachers at Meade High School (Fort Meade, MD) to
pursue lives of courage and integrity.
Foley was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on Nov. 5, 1966, to rescue the trapped company.
It’s the nation’s highest
award for valor.
“When you go to school
every morning and go into your classrooms, what kind of climate is that?
It’s the climate you make,” he said. “There’s no limit on the amount of
excellence we can have.”
Foley retired as a
lieutenant general and lives in Alexandria, Va. He was invited to speak
as part of the school’s homeland security program.
Students in the program
learn about cyber security and defense contracting in hopes those skills
will translate to jobs in the Fort George G. Meade area.
