Major General Thomas H. Ruger Camp #1 participated in recognizing Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) cadets at various high schools in our area.Camp and Departments of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, through the ROTC program, are encouraged to participate in recognizing deserving cadets. Such participation is voluntary and includes the awarding of certificates of recognition and the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War JROTC Medal with Bar.
Our definition of a deserving cadet is one that “shows a high degree of patriotism to his/her Nation and has demonstrated a high degree of academic performance and leadership. Camps and Departments are encouraged to work with their local JROTC units in determining any additional requirements that may be used to determine a “deserving cadet.”
