RMA's "Lost Battalion"
Over the years, we have lost contact with a virtual
"battalion" of cadets and we would like you to help us locate them.
Mike Vagi '60 has created a list of cadets, faculty
and friends with whom we were in contact at one point, but have lost touch with
them. Take a few minutes to review the names of the
"Lost Battalion" to see if there is someone you
are in contact with or, perhaps, an old classmate that you would be willing to
spend a little time trying to locate.

RMA Quartermaster Store
 |
 |
 |
 |
Whenever a cadet needed to buy uniforms or other RMA-unique items,
he would visit the Quartermaster Store in the Administration
Building. Now we have created an online quartermaster
to provide RMA memorabilia, merchandise and electronic copies of
yearbooks for members of the RMA Rough Riders Association, alumni
and friends of RMA. Visit the
Quartermaster Store today.

ROOSEVELT MILITARY ACADEMY is named for Theodore Roosevelt who so ably represents the ideals of American youth. His magnanimous sprit, commanding personality, alert mind, and abounding physical energy represent our ideals for each cadet who studies at Roosevelt Military Academy. It is the Purpose of Roosevelt Military Academy to educate boys and aid them in their growth processes. The Academy strives to develop in each and every cadet qualities of leadership, both academically and socially, that will aid them - not only in a mastery of his formal education - but also in the full development of his physical, social and moral capacities "BUILDERS OF MEN" --from an RMA Catalog published in the late 1960's |
