DAR awards Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) medals and certificates to student cadets of outstanding ability and achievement. The schools select the award recipients, who must have shown qualities of dependability, good character, adherence to military discipline, leadership ability, and understanding of the importance of ROTC training.
In addition, the recipients must have demonstrated loyalty and patriotism, must have earned a record of military achievement through their participation in the ROTC program, and must have been in the upper 25 percent of their classes in ROTC and in academic subjects. Medals are worn according to JROTC protocol.
The Daughters of the American Revolution is a service organization with genealogically based membership. Its mission is patriotism, education and historic preservation.
