The resolution acknowledges the leadership of Captain Jamieson Barnes and Master Sergeant Ivan Krestyn, who guided the battalion to this unprecedented victory, as well as Cadet Charles Frattalone for his exemplary role as team captain. In recognition of their service and accomplishments, the Senate expresses gratitude to the University of Minnesota ROTC and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare an official copy of the resolution to be sent to the battalion.
