Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Presents JROTC Hunley Awards



Army veteran, past Brigade Commander and Dragoons Quartermaster Bill Myrick presented the SCV H.L. Hunley award at Millbrook's Stanhope Elmore HS, Prattville HS and Wtempka HS. Cadet Captain Jacob Wright was this year's recipient of the Hunley Award at Stanhope Elmore. He was recently promoted from First Sergeant   He is a member of B Company.  B Company was selected as this year's Honor Company.  A testament to the quality of the young men selected for this award is last year's award recipient, now Cadet Captain King and the previous year's award recipient is Cadet Major McGraw and is in the Battalion Commander's staff.  Bill reported it was a pleasure participating in the award ceremony at Stanhope Elmore HS again.
Dragoons and Army veterans Bill Myrick and Don Owens presented the Junior ROTC award to LaDarius Sanders of Prattville High School on Thursday, 12 April 2018. This was the second Hunley award presented  during this school year with one more scheduled at Wetumpka High School. The cadets always respond enthusiastically to our award because of the strict qualifications of eligibility and the beautiful detail of the medal. 
The H. L. Hunley award was presented to Cadet Major Alec Gottlieb of Wetumpka High School the morning of Thursday April 19th.  Presenting the award was past Southwest Central Brigade Commanders Bill Myrick and compatriot Larry Spears. The emcee was JROTC Commander Major Joey Hutto, formerly of the US Army 173rd Airborne Brigade.  This was the third Hunley Award presented by the Prattville Dragoons this year and the first one ever presented at Wetumpka H.
