NOMMA dedication

Retired Marine Col. Bill Davis, commandant of New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy, gives a speech to community members during a dedication ceremony at NOMMA March 20, 2014. The event also featured speeches from Lt. Gen. Richard P. Mills, the commander of Marine Forces Reserve, as well as other local military and political leaders. “Right now, we are 360 cadets strong and we have nowhere to go but up,” said Davis. “Here at NOMMA, we have smart and physically fit cadets that will contribute to today’s society.” Expansion is in the school’s plans, with ideas to develop more facilities to reach the state limit of 750 cadets.
