Very proud

[G-Man]

My nephew Ryan was given this award in front of the whole academy yesterday. He also earned top shot in his battalion 
The award is only given to one person per school / military academy. 

Recommendations by the ROTC staff of the Institutions will be based upon basic criteria established by the Services regarding academic standing, class enrollment and other standards or eligibility. The National Sojourners criteria is that the recipient must have encouraged and demonstrated the ideals of Americanism by deed or conduct or both; and that the recipient demonstrated a potential for outstanding leadership. There is no restriction of the award based upon race, religion or sex, other than ~e student must be enrolled in a Department of Defense authorized Reserve Officer Training Corps program. Normally, only one medal is presented by each ROTC unit. Preferably the recipient should be a sophomore or junior so that the medal may be worn for a year or more. Most schools select recipients who rank in the top 25°/o of their class academically.
