Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

U.S. Army Capts. Daniel Copeland, left, and Kwang Fricke, both Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ alumni, recently met for the first time while serving together on a 10-man military transition team in Iraq. Fricke graduated from Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ in 2000, and Copeland received his degree in 2005. This photo was taken last spring at the team's base camp, where the two officers served together for a year. Fricke completed three tours in Iraq and is now the executive officer of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Department of Military Science, working to recruit and train students to commission as Second Lieutenants for service into the active Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve.
