Answer The Call Letter

MG Peter J. Boylan, USA (Ret.) began the effort of generating support for the new barracks in 2002 by sending out a letter to many of GMC’s alumni and friends. Forty-one responded to this letter with their investments of more than $200,000 in “seed” dollars. These donors will be honored perpetually with a plaque, located just inside the main entrance to the barracks, listing their names.
