My son has just been awarded the Legion of Valor Bronze Cross for Achievement. From what I understand about this award - only 1 out of 4000 JROTC cadets are awarded this medal! I am so excited that this is his senior year in high school. Big Frank - I will be with you next year when he is off to college.

IMO If a kid was a trouble maker or a pain most familys are happy to see them go.

But in our case when the child has been bright and never gotten into trouble , it hurts so so much
