Sgt. Bogan was my JROTC instructor back in FFCHS. He was truly an inspiration and a role model for me and many others. I hope he realized what impact he truly had on so many of us. His words and actions still guide me through life from time to time even now at 33. I'll always remember you Sgt. Bogan, better not call him sir since he worked for a living.

Sergeant Bogan was my ROTC instructor in Fountain- Ft. Carson High School. I didn´t have any real male role models since my Pap died and Sergeant Bogan not only taught me about military life but what a real role model and good man looked like... every lesson he has taught me has stuck with me my whole life and I owe a big part of the man I am to Sergeant Bogan. He will be missed so much.

I have forgotten a lot in my sixty years of life but not my Sr. Drill Sergeant Leroy Bogan. I was 17 years old when I arrived at Fort Leonard Wood Alpha 4-4 and stepped out of the cattle car to meet what I thought was wild man! He was a great man and soldier. He made a huge impact on my life. God rest your soul.
