    In honor of Cadet Memphis Layne Rudolphi (2008–2025), whose dedication, character, and spirit reflected the values of service and leadership.

His Legacy will be carried on by everyone who got to meet and be apart of his life. He will forever remain a part of the battalion and will not be forgotten.
