Howard University Men’s Basketball Coach Kevin Nickelberry and U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Michael Taft, an officer selection assistant for Officer Selection Station Norfolk, cheer on a group of Mid-East Atlantic Conference Youth Basketball Clinic participants “in building the house,” March 7, 2015.
