3 Ties that BIND Clemson ties to S.C. Army National Guard begin with WWI Medal of Honor recipients By STAFF SGT. ERICA KNIGHT 108th Public Affairs Detachment Photo by STAFF SGT. ERICA KNIGHT Army ROTC cadets prepare to assemble a Soldier s Cross on the field during halftime in honor of service members who ve given their lives. Clemson University held its annual Military Appreciation Day Nov. 18 at Memorial Stadium during the final home game against The Citadel. Over the course of a century, Clemson University has evolved from its roots as a small military college but its ties to the military have continued to strengthen and are honored annually during Military Appreciation Day. During World War I, more than 1,500 Clemson College men served across all branches of the military, including the South Carolina Army National Guard, which was quickly distinguishing itself as a military leader overseas. There was a very strong military tradition, a very tion of taking Guard training very seriously in South Carolina, said Joe Long, Curator of Education at the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum. People were proud to be part of it. In the summer of 1917, There was a very strong military tradition, a very fierce pride, but also a tradition of taking Guard training very seriously in South Carolina. Joe Long Curator of Education at the S.C. Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum more than 375,000 National Guard Soldiers from across the United States were drafted into federal service. The 118th Infantry Regiment from South Carolina and three National Guard regiments from neighboring states were assigned to the 59th Brigade of the 30th Division. Just a few months earlier, the entire 1917 class at Clemson College volunteered for service; 54 Clemson men reported for training immediately. This class shows the institutional values of Clemson, that a sense of duty was being instilled in these young men, said Long. As college graduates they were going to be leaders in society and they needed to take point, lead by example and face a national crisis.

The Falcons pulled off a 34-6 victory against the Patriots. This is the first time a Junior Pee-Wee Fort Jackson team was invited to and won the Patriot Bowl. The victory was led by coaching staff Darius Lane, David Jones and Desmond Williams. The Falcons scored on the first drive following a 67-yard run and continued to do so on every possession. The score was technically 48-6 but due to the mercy rule, the Falcons remained at 34 points on the official scoreboard. Lane was awarded a trophy and each player a bowl championship ring, right.

15 Safe Continued from Page 6 If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don t hesitate to contact your local law enforcement; And remember Friends Don t Let Friends Drive Drunk. Take the keys and never let a friend leave your sight if you think they are about to drive while impaired. If you are hosting a party this holiday season, remind your guests to plan ahead, always offer alcohol-free beverages during the event, and make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver. Driving impaired or riding with someone who is impaired is simply not worth the risk. The consequences are serious and real. Not only do you risk killing yourself or someone else, but the trauma and rest for driving while impaired can way you want to spend your holiday season. As a community we have a moral obligation to take care of people we come in contact with; when people drink, the ability they have to make rational decisions is You also have an obligation to protect innocent people from harm by keeping friends and family members from picking up the car keys if they have consumed alcohol-even one drink. A little effort on your part could mean the difference between life and death. So remember, this holiday season, if you catch a buzz, catch a ride.

17 Clemson Continued from Page 3 In addition to the 1917 War Class volunteers, many faculty, staff and alum also volunteered or were called to serve. One of those alum was Theodore Gaines, Clemson class of He was drafted into the South Carolina Army National Guard s The 30th Division, including the 118th Infantry, arrived in Europe on May 27, 1918 and saw combat in Belgium and France, most notably in the Ypres-Lys, and the Somme offensive, in which it was one of the two American divisions to break the Hindenburg Line in the Battle of St. Quentin Canal. The 118th was one of the most elite combat regiments from the United States in World War I. You can t argue with Hindenburg Line, said Long. The Hindenburg Line was the most imposing, most formidable set of German defenses. The 118th Infantry Regiment was tasked with leading the offensive on the Hindenburg Line during late September and into October Breaking this line turned the tide of the war leading to the armistice signing on Nov. 11, According to division records and regimental history, during this offensive the 30th Division advanced more than 18,000 yards. The 118th Infantry occupied the front line during more than 14,000 yards of this charge. The regiment is cited as having captured 48 heavy machine-guns, 166 light machine guns, Additionally, six Soldiers from the South Carolina Army National Guard s 118th Infantry Regiment were awarded the Medal of Honor, the most of any regiment in the American Expeditionary Forces. It s astonishing that that many outstanding performers would be right there when it all came down, said Long. It also demonstrates that this unit was producing leaders. Some of these men were privates but these Medal of Honor exploits involve judgment and taking responsibility and initiative. One of those men was Cpl. James Heriot of I Company, 118th Infantry. Heriot attended Clemson from 1910 to 1911, but left school a year before graduating. On Oct. 10, 1918 Heriot, with four other Soldiers, attacked an enemy machine-gun of his men were killed, and the other two sought shelter. Heriot the enemy to surrender. Later that day, while charging another machine-gun, he was killed. Just down the South Carolina line was Sgt. Gary Foster, F Company, 118th Infantry. A few days earlier on Oct. 8, 1918, - was wounded, but Foster continued on alone and with only hand grenades and his pistol, killed several of the enemy and captured 18. After the war, Foster returned to South Carolina and attended Clemson s one year agriculture program. It s not so much about those six men, genuine heroes al- valor of the whole unit, said Long. Heriot and Foster represented the values and dedication that thousands of South Carolinians brought to their service in Photo by STAFF SGT. ERICA KNIGHT Retired Army Col. Ben Skardon was honored as the Hero of the Game during Clemson University s annual Military Appreciation Day Nov. 18 at Memorial Stadium during the final home game against The Citadel. Skardon served in the Pacific during WWII. He survived the Bataan Death March and more than three years in a prison camp. Later, he also served in Korea before retiring in the military and to their communities. Their names are among those listed on Clemson s Scroll of Honor which recognizes alumni who have given their lives in service to their country. Gaines was recently inducted into the Scroll of Honor with another Clemson cadet. The Army motivates its Soldiers, includ- to carry on that legacy today. honor, integrity and personal courage are more than mere words that we recite, said Lt. Col. Todd Crawford, Clemson Army ROTC commander. Taken together and integrated through an generations of Citizen-Soldiers who previously answered the call to defend America s freedom... those values become part of who we are and form the moral and ethical identity that inspire us and form the basis of our professional ethic. History is taught so that it may guide us in the future. Over the past 100 years, Clemson cadets have learned and embodied the history of those who came before them. Clemson s military history impacts the ROTC program by giving us an example of what to strive for in our character, integrity, and service to this country, said Cadet Garren Bailey, Clemson Army ROTC. Our alumni who have served have shown us what it means to be a leader and how individuals can impact this country as a whole. Today, Clemson continues to use its relationship with military units across the South Carolina. 1st Lt. Mark Samuelson, Infantry Regiment, also serves as the Clemson Army ROTC the military is an asset when interacting with cadets. The South Carolina National Guard mission is quite unique due to the hurricane assistance that we provide as well as all the different missions that the South Carolina Army National Guard is able to be a part of, said Samuelson.
