SENATE RESOLUTION

     MADAM PRESIDENT:

    I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:

    A SENATE RESOLUTION congratulating Purdue University's Air Force ROTC program on winning the Right of Line Award.

     Whereas, Purdue University's Air Force ROTC unit was established in 1947 and currently consists of 180 cadets. The success of the program is evidenced by the fact that the number of officers commissioned by Purdue's detachment each year has consistently led Big Ten institutions;

    Whereas, On November 4, 2010, Colonel Tom Frooninckx, of Purdue University's Air Force ROTC program, was presented with the Right of Line Award by General Norton Schwartz, Air Force Chief of Staff;

    Whereas, T he award, announced during an annual national conference of all college Air Force ROTC units, made Purdue University the top officer training program among 144 universities in the country;
    
     Whereas, The Right of Line award is the Purdue University Air Force ROTC program's first national honor.

T he award is based on several factors, including production of high-quality officers for the Air Force, which is ROTC's top mission, leadership training, military education, recruiting and retention of cadets, university and public relations, communit y service, and physical fitness ; and

    Whereas, The Purdue University Air Force ROTC program is to be commended for attaining this prestigious honor and national recognition: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

    SECTION 1. The Indiana Senate congratulates Purdue University's Air Force ROTC program on winning the Right of Line Award.
    SECTION 2. The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Tom Frooninckx and Purdue University.
