Everyone appears to be overlooking the fine contribution of Colonel of the ROTC component who agreed with this.

According to the local ABC news affiliate WHSV, the annual ceremony “marks the conclusion of a 24-hour vigil by ROTC cadets and has included the 21-gun salute for more than a decade,” but the decision to nix the salute was made by the provost’s office in conjunction with the colonel of UVA’s ROTC program.

Since UVA has Army, Air Force and Navy ROTC establishments I wonder who that is?
