This year the Carlisle Barracks and Cumberland Valley Chapter was proud to present the following awards to JROTC and ROTC cadets in our local area. Each was recognized as indicated – for outstanding achievement in history, for recognition as the top ranked cadet, and for the top ranked graduating cadet.  The board would also like to recognize and thank COL(Ret) Ed Murdock, CB&CV Chapter Board Member and VP for ROTC Affairs, for his efforts to coordinate and work with each of the named schools to make these awards possible!

Congratulations to the deserving cadets!
