First Lieutenant Cameron Coffman ’22 speaks to the crowd of veterans during Lander University’s Veterans Day Breakfast in the Dawson Room of the Grier Student Center Dining Hall on the morning of Nov. 11. Coffman spoke of his experiences as an ROTC cadet at Lander and how that prepared him to become an officer. “I spent a lot of time talking with my dad about enlisting,” said Coffman. “Something he said that stuck with me was that I had a chance to be the leader they need.” Additionally, Coffman said that he feels prepared for life after his military career thanks to Lander. “I was able to get a degree while preparing for the Army, and I know I’ll be able to succeed in the Army and afterwards.”
