| Q: What is Pershing Rifles?
A: The National Society of Pershing Rifles is a co-ed fraternal military organization. The purpose of Pershing Rifles is to create better leaders for the military and nation, promote patriotism, and to honor the traditions and ceremonies of the military of the United States of America. In addition, through its involvement in campuses around the nation, Pershing Rifles serves to remind us of the military's proud role in our nation's life. Q: What do others have to say about the PRs? A: "My experience in high school, on basketball and track teams, and briefly in Boy Scouting had never produced a sense of belonging or many permanent friendships. Pershing Rifles did. For the first time in my life I was a member of a brotherhood. . . The discipline, the structure, the camaraderie, the sense of belonging were what I craved. . . The P/Rs would go the limit for each other and for the group. If this was what soldiering was all about, then maybe I wanted to be a soldier." from his book, My American Journey |
