Sylvan Ralph Lucier was one of these brave men, and was killed in the line of duty during a training accident. This website collects his family's research on his life and death.

  2. Patsy, I would love to have a picture of Mira Loma Academy cadets if you can send me a scanned copy.
    (eanephew@aol.com) Please include the date and your father's name and where he is in the picture. Of course, all cadet names would really be great to have. Perhaps my uncle was a cadet in that group.
