Stephanie Pheiffer received the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) Bronz Medal, a certificate, and check from the Samuel Doak Chapter NSDAR at Grainger High School on May 12, 2023.

Recipients must have demonstrated loyalty and patriotism and earned a record of military and scholastic achievement during their participation in an ROTC program.

They must be in the upper 25 percent of their ROTC classes and in academic subjects.

They must have shown qualities of dependability and good character, adherence to military discipline, leadership ability and a fundamental and patriotic understanding of the importance of ROTC training. Not more than one student in a graduating class in a secondary school Junior ROTC program may be the recipient of the DAR Bronze ROTC Medal.

The Bronze JROTC Medal is awarded to either a junior or senior student in a secondary school JROTC program or to a Junior College graduating senior (one medal per unit).

Medals are worn according to JROTC protocol. JROTC medals and campaign bars are awarded to student cadets of outstanding ability and achievement in high school, junior college, college, or university ROTC programs of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. The DAR has awarded ROTC medals since 1967 because the ROTC is such an important source of trained officers for our armed forces.

The selection of the students to receive the DAR JROTC Award was made by Col. William Lynn. The presentation of the JROTC Awards were made by Samuel Doak Chapter Members Carol Long and Amy Aarons.
