The event began at 8 a.m. with an invocation and a presentation by the NMMI cadet choir, followed by opening remarks from Maj. Gen. Jerry Grizzle, president and superintendent of the Institute. Grizzle is a member of the Roswell Rotary Club. 


After breakfast, Grizzle introduced the guest speaker, Brig. Gen. Miguel Aguilar, deputy adjutant general of the New Mexico Army National Guard, who described how he began his military career when he accepted a scholarship at NMMI.
