Recognition Day, when the Knobs complete their freshman year and advance to the next level, includes a parade on one of the main streets of Charleston.
The people of the city line the streets along the curb to view the cadets as they pass by.
We didn't know about this tradition, but were delighted to see this large group of cadets, including some females, as they marched along in their summer uniform.
This occurred several hours after we had left the campus...our Citadel day in Charleston.
what a rich experience you had! thank you for sharing it with us.
