Reserve Officer Training Corps Building Tomorrow’s Military Leaders

The top leaders in tomorrow’s United States will come from today’s high school and college students. Among them will be those who have increased their chances for success even more by enrolling in the Junior / Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps. They will gain the ability to lead and inspire others to follow. JROTC / ROTC develop these qualities. The American Legion has a challenge to encourage these young Americans to help their country, and to prepare themselves for positions of leadership.

The American Legion ROTC Medal Awards were established by National Convention mandate as a way in which The American Legion can show support for JROTC / ROTC programs throughout the nation. It is another way in which the Legion and the schools can work together in the development of our young leaders. The Legion is committed to this worthwhile community service. These medals, recognizing Military and Scholastic Excellence, are available for the presentation to Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force ROTC cadets at any college, university and high school.
