Cadets of The Citadel Class of 2019 receive rings

Cadets of The Citadel Class of 2019 received their rings on Friday, Oct. 12.

The Citadel ring, known as the band of gold, symbolizes more than just a cadet's time spent as a member of The South Carolina Corps of Cadets or their time in the classroom. It symbolizes the military college's core values of honor, duty and respect; the same values Citadel cadets take with them to positions of leadership and service around the world after they graduate.
