What does it mean to serve, lead, and inspire the next generation?

In this special Veterans Day episode of Beyond the Bell, Dr. Bacon sits down with First Sergeant Gene Siler, JROTC instructor at North Bullitt High School, for a powerful conversation about service, sacrifice, and leadership.

After more than two decades in the U.S. Army, First Sergeant Siler continues to serve in a different way: mentoring young cadets and helping them develop the character, responsibility, and leadership skills they'll carry throughout their lives.

From unforgettable moments during deployment to remembering the soldiers who never made it home, his reflections remind us why Veterans Day matters and why passing those lessons to the next generation is so important.

❤️ To First Sergeant Siler and every veteran in our BCPS family and community, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

🎥 Watch this week's Beyond the Bell to hear his story!
