If people knew how hard these young men worked to achieve this rank the story would have been on page three of our Cornwall Local and not buried in the back sports section.
Thank you for putting them up front where they belong. I know that their families are bursting with pride and joy at their accomplishments. Bravo! guys, Bravo!
