Credit Union Supports JROTC with $500 Grant

"We are lucky to be associated with a number of great charitable partners, and Bedford High ROTC makes us as proud as any of them," said Chairman of the Board Paul Marotta. "Its really our honor to be able to support the program and the students who make it the success it is."
