SUBJECT:  SR/JR ROTC Awards

TO:  All SR/JR ROTC Units

The Military Order of the World Wars (MOWW) Award which consists of medal pendant, ribbon bar, and citation is authorized for award annually to the selected recipient of the SR/JR ROTC Units.  The SR/JR ROTC Unit may request the appropriate medal from the nearest local chapter of MOWW.  If no local chapter is available, a request form SR/JR ROTC Award of Merit - Request Support Form may be submitted to MOWW National Headquarters for support.  If your request is supported by one of MOWW local chapters, then a representative from that chapter will present the award to the recipient at an appropriate military ceremony.  If a member is not available from the local chapter, any active, reserve, or retired commissioned officer, may present the MOWW award.

Effective January 1, 2007, our organization will be unable to furnish your requested SR/JR ROTC medal free of charge.  Due to increasing costs of ROTC medals, we are now only able to provide your organization with the appropriate SR/JR ROTC Citation and ribbon.  We do have a limited supply of SR/JR ROTC medals that your unit/school/recipient of the award may purchase, if desired.  The cost of the medal including postage and handling is as follows:  SR ROTC (Gold) - $11.00, SR ROTC (Silver) - $10.00, SR ROTC (Bronze) - $9.00 and JR ROTC - $8.00.  If you would like to purchase a medal, please complete the SR/JR ROTC Award of Merit - Order Medal Form.  Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.  We regret that this situation has occurred, but with reduced funding for all supported by MOWW, this reduction in support to all ROTC programs is necessary. 

Our organization thanks you for your efforts put forward in support of ROTC and is proud to continue our support of this very important program.

Roger C. Bultman, Brigadier General, USA (Retired), Chief of Staff
