Roosevelt Military Academy Historic DVD

Quick update to the RMA alumni on the production and development of a historic DVD on RMA.

The Association used the backdrop of the 2012 all class reunion in August and researched a number of archived photos, film clips and recent video to produce a two disc set.

Some Alumni remember that Roosevelt Military Academy had it's roots from Illinois Military School, IMS. In fact, many alumni might have wondered why the letters IMS were in stone on the West side of Niles Hall. The words Niles Hall were on the East side of the building.

That point aside, the DVD has some excellent historic clips up through the dedication of the Armed Forces Memorial with the fallen RMA Cadets from WW II, the retirement of the three original flags, the award presentation by "Teddy Roosevelt" and the reunion festivities themselves.

We anticipate the two disc set to be available in the coming months and sold through our Quarter Master. Pricing is being evaluated with the addition of extensive research and editing to create a memorable keep sake.

Everyone will want a copy for their records.
