"That Others May Live"

C/Lt Col Michael Woodward held a distinguished and impressive performance record in his years as a cadet in Detachment 825. As an active member of THUDs and other ROTC     organizations who consistently achieved the maximum score on the Air Force Physical Fitness Test, C/Woodward went through the gruesome process of selection for a Pararescue/CRO position in the Air Force. Through a rigorous training regimen and a fierce determination to excel, Woodward passed Phases 1 and 2 of CRO selection and was well on his way to having an exciting and distinguished career as an integral member of the Air Force Special Operations Command.

On March 9, 2006, Michael Woodward's vehicle, which contained 3 other passengers including his fianceé, Fan Sun, was struck by a tractor-trailer. Woodward passed away from his injuries.

A memorial in honor of his achievements in Detachment 825 is proudly displayed in the AFROTC "Cadet Hangar" on the ground floor of the RAS Hall.
