On September 28, 2024, cadets participated in the New Jersey Run for the Fallen, honoring the memory of USMC Major James M. Weis of Toms River, who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan on July 22, 2010. This event dedicates each mile to a New Jersey hero, including Major Weis, with ceremonial stops at Hero Markers to pay respect to their families, friends, and comrades, ultimately creating a 255+ mile Memorial trail across New Jersey.
