On July 15th, Lieutenant General Ronald S. Coleman of the United States Marine Corps visited the campus of the Bonnie Brae School and Treatment Center in Liberty Corner, New Jersey. General Coleman delivered a motivational speech to the students during their monthly awards assembly, encouraging the ninety-nine boys and young men to work hard towards achieving their goals, while reminding them that "it doesn’t matter where you start, it matters where you finish." General Coleman currently holds the title of Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs in the U.S. Marine Corps. Since 1916, Bonnie Brae has been helping boys overcome their personal and family difficulties and build new futures as good citizens, productive in their families and home communities. Located on a 100-acre campus in Bernards Township, New Jersey, Bonnie Brae is a fully Joint Commission accredited, nationally recognized psychiatric residential treatment and special education center serving boys ages 8 to 18.
