Airman Don “DJ” Pointer, a 2007 graduate of Sarasota High School and a former JROTC cadet, paid a visit to our ROTC cadets Wednesday. Serving with the United States Air Force as an MP, Pointer has completed two tours in the Middle East as security for EOD teams in Baghdad and Tikrit, Iraq. Cadets were treated to a fast paced slideshow displaying the sights and sounds of the Middle East.
