| Description |
ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the Army Reserve joined their comrades from Army recruiting battalions and Army Reserve Officer Training Corps battalions to promote the branch's leadership platforms, educational opportunities and financial benefits to fans, staff and community leaders participating in the Florida Classic Nov. 21-23 in Orlando, Fla. Formally created in 1978, the Florida Classic features a series of celebrations that culminate into a football game between the Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats and the Florida A&M University Rattlers. This year's game, which kicked off at the newly renovated Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando Nov. 23, stands as the largest sports rivalry between two historically black colleges. Army Brig. Gen. Norman Green, commanding general of the 4th Sustainment Command out of San Antonio, Texas, represented the Army Reserve during the Florida Classic VIP Reception and Kickoff Luncheon. Green, a graduate of the historically black South Carolina State College, also spoke with cadets from several Florida-based Army ROTC battalions about their career progression and leadership expectations as they transition from the campus parade grounds to the commissioned officer ranks. The Army reinforced Green's efforts with static and interactive displays positioned outside the Citrus Bowl stadium. Managed in part by Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), the site gave fans to show off their strength, speed, endurance and dancing moves in a variety of challenges. Participants also received knapsacks, keychains, tee-shirts, dog tags and other items to show off their support for the American Soldier. The Florida Classic organizers repaid the Army's support with an action-packed football game coupled with a lively half-time show featuring two of the finest marching bands in the country. After a scoreless first half on the rain soaked gridiron, the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats defeated the Florida A&M Rattlers 18-17 on a two-point conversion in overtime. U.S. Army Photos by Sgt. John L.
