Two local Chesapeake cadets have achieved top honors by being selected for prestigious medals from the Staff Sergeant Jonathan Kilian Dozier Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2894. C/CMSgt Russel McCracken and C/Capt Michael Hogwood were selected as The VFW Civil Air Patrol Cadet NCO and Officer of the Year, respectively.

This VFW Award program is designed to provide special recognition for exceptional leadership, academic excellence, and outstanding personal achievement within regional high school Junior ROTC, Civil Air Patrol, and Naval Sea Cadet units. This year, these local cadets distinguished themselves among their peers through rigorous service, commitment to their communities, and an exemplary display of esprit de corps. By earning these highly regarded VFW medals and certificates, both honorees embody the core values of service and excellence championed by Chesapeake's veteran community.

Congratulations Cadet Chen!

Spotswood High School student Rocky Chen wasn’t always an athletic kid, but in eighth grade, he decided to change that.
