One of the biggest rolls on Post 224 is being a staff memeber. Without any staff memebers there wouldn't be any discipline. Staff members each play a part to the team by being instructors, mentors, and last but not least friends. Staff memebers were not just the people who helped organize the drill team, but parents who were involed. Staff memebers were not paid to do these things. They did them because they also grew attached to the sport as well as the kids.
FOUNDER-MARK "SHARK" WILLIAMS
Mark a.k.a "Mark Shark"is the founder of Post 224. Without a great thinking mind like his, none of this would be
possible. Mr.Mark with his military background and love for kids, founded Post 224 Drill team. His mother would
run thinngs while he was away in Iraq on military leave. He was one of the people the team has needed in
the worst of times. Mark Shark is very dedicated to the team and would do anything to keep the name of
Post 224 alive.
