Our classmate, John Gabriel Tucker, is requesting our support in receiving a 1998 Citadel class ring. Gabe was was unable to complete his senior year due to financial hardship. Nonetheless, he has always supported and continues to support The Citadel and our class. He attended ring night with Hotel Company, supported us all at graduation, and has participated in multiple reunions. Since leaving The Citadel, Gabe completed his undergraduate degree at Anderson University and served in the Army as an enlisted soldier and officer. He is now the South Carolina Army National Guard Liaison Officer and Army ROTC instructor at The Citadel. Receiving a class ring is important to Gabe and I hope you will join me in endorsing this petition so we can move this request forward to the Board of Directors for consideration.
