NAVY COMMANDER BILL LAUPER: LESSONS TO OUR YOUTH FROM A LIFETIME OF SERVICE

Bill Lauper: "As a society, it's all about the future, and it starts with our children. We teach them right, our society is going to be just  fine."

Retired Navy Commander William "Bill" Lauper has devoted his life to mentoring American youth. After serving all over the world, he retired to his wife's home state of California. He was not ready, however, to rest on his laurels.  As a man accustomed to service, he has accepted positions educating our youth. As a Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps instructor at three Southern California high schools,  he instills high morals, selfless service and the values of good citizenship in his cadets. 

Commander Lauper's honor guards are easily the equal of many active duty, full-time honor guards. I (Judge Johnson) know, because I have personally observed them at many local patriotic events. Many of Bill's students go on to accept appointments to the Service Academies and ROTC programs at major universities.  

Listen to Bill's inspiring story and his message to our young people. Any questions for Bill or Judge Johnson, please email [e-mail].
