Marine Fighter Pilot Visits Rawhide Boys Ranch

Students at Rawhide Boys Ranch heard an inspirational message from Lieutenant Colonel J. Bruce Bright who traveled from Alabama. Colonel Bright’s service includes four years as a Marine Rifleman and 24 years as a Marine F/A-18 Fighter Pilot. He completed Naval Flight Training and was awarded his Wings of Gold in 1988, then was selected for the Leadership Award from the Basis School in Quantico, Virginia. Colonel Bright is the Ambassador for The Sanders Trust, tasked with building strong client relationships nationally. He holds the prestigious designation of CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member), a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment Real Estate.

Colonel Bright shared with students the photos and stories of his experiences throughout his military career. He encouraged the young men to research opportunities the military affords and envision traveling the world. The Colonel credits his success to his placement of life values. He emphasized his values in this order: God, family, country, and the Marine Corps. Students were enthralled with his presentation and enjoyed visiting with him at Rawhide’s Fish Fry and Car Show.
