Thousands of people cheered as future recruits from all services from Denver, Colorado were honored during the University of Colorado Boulder vs. Oregon University game held on Nov. 5th as part of the University’s Military Appreciation Game.
Future Sailors and future enlistees of sister services walk onto the field with the commanding officer of Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Colorado Unit, Colonel Robert Bodesch, for their oath of enlistment.
The oath is a prerequisite needed prior to joining the military and before shipping off to basic training. The future Sailors and future enlistees took the oath at Folsom Field, CU Boulder to solidify their promise to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over them.
Following the completion of the oath at Folsom Field, the whole stadium erupted with applause and cheer showing their support and patriotism. “It made me feel really proud that we have young men and women who want to fight for our freedom,” said Ben Button who is the father of future Sailor Caleb Button. “And I am the proud parent of one of those young men.”
The game concluded with the Oregon Ducks winning against CU Boulder Saturday's game by a score of 49-10.
