On May 7, Carter Joseph Campbell of Wrentham received commission into the United States Army at Clemson University.

Clemson University’s Army and Air Force ROTC units held a joint ceremony to commission 37 Second Lieutenants. Twenty-two students received commissions into the U.S. Army, and 15 students received commissions into the U.S. Air Force.

The ceremony occurred at Clemson’s newly renovated Memorial Auditorium in Tillman Hall.

Following the commissioning ceremony, the newly appointed Lieutenants participated in a Silver Dollar Salute on Clemson University’s Military Heritage Plaza above Bowman field. The ceremony marks the first salute received by the officer from an enlisted member. As a sign of mutual respect, the officer presents the enlisted member with a silver dollar.
