Congratulations to the 2025 SAR ROTC & JROTC Medals & Certificates

 
 
 

Congratulations to the 2025 SAR ROTC & JROTC Medals & Certificates from the Kings Mountain Chapter of the SAR.  The followings schools were included:  Daniel Boone High School, David Crockett High School, Dobyns-Bennett High School, ETSU University, Milligan University, UVA Wise University, Science Hill High School, Sullivan East High School, Tennessee High School - Bristol, TN, Unicoi County High School, West Greene High School and West Ridge High School.

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) presents the ROTC and JROTC Medals to foster the ideals of the “citizen-soldier,” exemplified by the Revolutionary War Minutemen. These awards recognize cadets who demonstrate outstanding leadership, military bearing, and overall excellence. Recipients are selected by the unit’s Commanding Officer, who has full discretion in the process.

SAR, composed of descendants of American Revolution patriots, promotes patriotism, historical awareness, and civic responsibility. It strongly supports the ROTC and JROTC programs as modern reflections of these values. The program honors the legacy of Captain Alden Partridge, founder of the U.S. ROTC and son of a Revolutionary War soldier, who sought to develop qualified military leaders for the young republic.

Units with fewer than 500 cadets may receive one medal per year; larger units may receive one medal per 500 cadets. Each unit is counted separately in multi-unit schools.
  • The Silver ROTC Medal is awarded to college or university cadets.
  • The Bronze JROTC Medal is awarded to high school cadets.
