Prince George High School's Royals Battalion JROTC Program Featured in CBS 6's Veterans Day Coverage

Prince George High School's JROTC program received a special opportunity to be part of the Commonwealth's celebration and recognition of America's veterans, as the Royals Battalion was filmed for a special segment as part of WTVR CBS 6 Richmond's coverage of the Veterans Day ceremony at the Virginia War Memorial.

On Monday, November 2, 2026, the JROTC program, one of the largest in Virginia, donned their dress uniforms and lined up in formation outside of Prince George High School with the school, state, and American flags for a morning of filming with producers and videographers from WTVR CBS6 News. During approximately a half-hour of filming, cadets and the program's leaders, Mr. Cyril Clemens II, Mr. Kevin Artus, and Mr. Clayton Plumley, worked alongside the television station's team as they gathered audio and used handheld and drone cameras for what would serve as the welcome to the station's special presentation of the Virginia War Memorial's Veterans Day Ceremony.
 

On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Veterans Day, the segment aired in both the Richmond television market and in Hampton Roads as the lead-in to the ceremony.

"It’s great to have our media partners visit us, spending time with our students, instructors, and community here in Prince George County and Prince George High School," PGCPS Public Information Officer Mr. Michael Campbell said. "Our community takes pride in the close connection we share with our military, serving as the educational partner of Fort Lee, having a large community of military-connected students, and PGHS being home to one of the largest JROTC programs in Virginia. Having our cadets be part of such a meaningful event like the Virginia War Memorial ceremony is incredibly impactful and a way for us to show appreciation to our veterans."
