The Fount

Cadet Col. Chase Henderson Mohler of Beaufort, S.C., is the 2008 recipient of the Medal of the Society of the Cincinnati of South Carolina Award.

The Medal of the Society of the Cincinnati of South Carolina Award is given annually to the senior cadet officer who best exemplifies the combined qualities of a good soldier and a good citizen - characteristics of the patriots who fought to obtain America's freedom and which the Society pledges to perpetuate. These citizen-soldier characteristics are modeled after Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, a Roman farmer who became a successful general, and charter members of the Society of the Cincinnati, include George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Marquis de Lafayette.

Mohler is the regimental commander, the top ranking cadet who oversees the 2,000-member South Carolina Corps of Cadets. Majoring in Political Science - American Government, Mohler is a Citadel Scholar, is active in intramural sports and has consistently been honored for outstanding academic achievement while a cadet.

Cadet Col. Mohler is scheduled to graduate in May 2008. He is the son of Dr. Christopher and Janine Mohler of Beaufort.
