COLUMBIA — Hand over hand, Army ROTC Cadet Jonathan Dudley pulled a rope to raise the American flag, with the navy-and-white flag of Columbia College underneath it. The flag-raising, with assistance from Air Force ROTC Cadet D. Neal Ethington and Navy ROTC Midshipman Kevin Mills, was part of the college's second Military Recognition Day, intended to honor current and veteran members of the military.
