When they aren't distinguishing themselves in competitions, members of the Graham-Kapowsin High School Junior ROTC are helping others. Forty-five members of the unit were among 260-plus volunteers who participated in a community service project recently at the Washington Soldiers Home in Orting. The volunteers, who also included Comcast employees and a local Boy Scouts troop, painted picnic benches, mended fences, refurbished storage sheds, cut grass, weeded and planted flowers. During the 2015-16 school year, the Junior ROTC unit also has been busy winning awards in drill meets. During one such event, the awards and their recipients included, in first place, Commanders Award: Unarmed Commander , Aidan Kees; Iron Man, Brandon Curry; and Unarmed Drill Down, Dakota Garcia.
