So for those of you that dont know this year marks 50 years since the creation of the original Skipper by Homer Hickam and Butch Harper. Today at 330 in Burruss there will be a ceremony and presentation to the Corps and VT at-large about its history.
Then after there will be a 21 gun salute by Gregory Guard with the final shot being yielded to Skipper.
