The Missouri Military Academy honors veterans with a military award

By Sky Strauss, staff writer

On Veterans Day, the Missouri Military Academy welcomed local veterans and the public to the Alain M. Garcia Field House, where cadets held a military review honoring those who served. Military reviews are reserved for special occasions and have their roots in the Middle Ages. Armies demonstrated their strength through large military parades and exhibitions. A military review consists of four parts: cadet training, an inspection, presentation and honors, and a passing review.
