What makes the Cadet stand out among his/her peers? 

Cadet Rosati has consistently stepped up as a leader, especially after COVID-19 changed the course of the year, by planning and executing physical training for the battalion. He assisted his peers with leadership labs, making sure the lab was conducted to standard and ensured that all Cadets received the best training possible.

In the Cadet's Own Words:

"My family history of service to our country has motivated me to be a leader. My grandfather fought in the Second World War and several other family members have honorably served throughout the years.

I have always wanted to be given the opportunity to lead others and defend those that cannot defend themselves. The U.S. Army provides that ability to serve others and accomplish more in life. I plan to build a prominent Army career for myself and branch Infantry in the spring."
