SELFLESS SERVICE
By Brantley Watson & Braden Delannoy ‘13
Over the years, many members of the Lancer family have felt called by God to join the military in order to serve and protect our country.
One of the most selfless acts that an individual can perform is to join the military. Members of our armed forces sacrifice their lives, time with their families and loved ones, and much more to serve and protect our country. And many of those who have made these sacrifices are members of the Lancer family, two of which are Jordan Pavlisin ‘07 and Hilary Thomas ‘08. Captain Hilary Thomas ran cross country, and was involved with Missions and choir during her time at OLu. She has been active duty for the last four years as an engineer in the Army. Second Lieutenant Jordan Pavlisin played football, baseball and ran track in his four years at OLu, and has served in the Marines for over a year. Both Thomas and Pavlisin shared what motivated them to join the military, how their faith plays a role in their service, and how OLu prepared them to join the ranks of our armed forces. 8
