Michael La Rocque, the youngest son of Tom, also received his commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army.
Alan La Rocque Sr. was thrilled to attend the graduation ceremony. The commencement address was delivered by President Barack Obama who personally congratulated each graduate as they received their diplomas.
Michael will be stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky, prior to attending jump school and ranger training. Upon returning to California, the family received confirmation that Michael's brother Thomas La Rocque has been accepted to Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia. There will be two U.S. Army officers in the family next year. Friends and family are extremely proud of both of these young men and wish them good luck as they begin their service to our country.
