The Virginia Society is justifiably proud of its Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Recognition Program. For a Society of our size it is one of the finest in the Order. The program truly got jump-started in 2002 when Associate Thatcher Wood organized presentations to three Colleges and Universities in the Hampton-Williamsburg-Richmond area. Under his guidance and with his persistence it has now grown to 15 awards at eight different institutions. The Outstanding State ROTC Cadet or Midshipman Award is presented to a Cadet or Midshipman who has demonstrated superior “qualities of dependability, character, military discipline, leadership, patriotism, and an understanding of the importance of the American Heritage.” This program is the hallmark of our Society .

The VA Society presented 15 ROTC Cadet Awards in 2007, this is a very rewarding experience.
