The Integrity Path Goes to Branson

Suzanne and I are getting ready to head to Branson Missouri this month, where we’ll have the opportunity to spend several days meeting with students, educators, veterans, and members of the community. One of the highlights will be speaking with approximately 700 to 800 students from Taney and Stone Counties at Branson High School, along with visiting the College of the Ozarks, where we’ll spend time with students in the Patriotic Education Class and meet with officer candidates in the Military Science Program. We’ll also have the chance to tour the campus and visit several of Branson’s veteran and patriotic attractions. We always look forward to spending time with young people and talking with them about service, character, integrity, and the values that can help guide them throughout their lives.

With respect and gratitude,
Gary

Inspirational Youth

Sometimes a difficult experience can inspire someone to find a way to help others.


Sixth-grader Sanat Pandit's aunt and cousins lost their home to a wildfire. Sanat began thinking about whether technology could help firefighters do their dangerous jobs more safely.

He built a firefighting drone for about $300 using thermal imaging, sonar and autonomous navigation. His project has now taken him to the finals of a national science competition.


He is still in middle school.

Young people don't have to wait until they're adults to solve problems, serve others or make a difference.


STEM, Service & Leadership Aboard the IOWA

We’re excited to be heading back to the Battleship IOWA this December for another special student program. Approximately 50 Orange County students will take part in a day of STEM learning with our partners at STARBASE Los Alamitos, along with guest speakers and time with Suzanne and Gary Littrell. It will be another great opportunity to bring education, character, service, and hands-on learning together in a setting the students will always remember.
