Thomas Brett

Brett was very active on campus. He played on the first intercollegiate soccer team, played baseball, and was a member of the English Club. Brett said the most important skills he learned from ROTC were to “move, shoot and communicate.” He served during the Vietnam War and left the service in 1968 to pursue a degree in law. Brett served as a trial attorney for the United States Antitrust division and in 1997 founded his own law firm. In 2002 Mr. Brett was inducted into the ROTC Wall of Fame. “The biggest change in my life caused by ROTC was an increase in my confidence … ROTC has served as an important building block in my life.”
