Our Chapter gives out National Defense Awards every year! 

The Bronze JROTC Medal

The Bronze JROTC Medal is awarded to either a junior or senior student in a high school/secondary school JROTC program, one medal per year. For consolidated JROTC programs, one medal may be awarded to an outstanding cadet from each school participating in the program. Medals are worn according to JROTC protocol.

The Silver DAR Outstanding Cadet Medal

The Silver DAR Outstanding Cadet Medal is awarded to a cadet for participation in a non-ROTC, or non-JROTC military-affiliated cadet program funded by a school or private organization, or a cadet in a police, fire, or emergency medical services (EMS) department volunteer training program.
