    The Army has awarded Medals of Heroism, the service’s highest medal for Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadets, to the three JROTC students killed defending their classmates from a gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on Feb. 14

    The Medal of Heroism, awarded to students Peter Wang, Alaina Petty and Martin Duque, recognizes JROTC cadets whose achievements “involved the acceptance of danger and extraordinary responsibilities, exemplifying praiseworthy courage and fortitude.”

    On behalf of Rolling Thunder Washington, DC Inc., executive director, 1st Sgt Walt Sides, USMC, Ret. and our supporters, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the Dugue, Petty and Wang families.

    May they rest in peace.

    So sad. The ones lost are exactly the type we need more of. Younger folks with love for their fellow man. To be that young and selflessly lay your life down for another, truly heroic. More kids should look up to these guys vs the crazy bastard that committed such a cowardly act.
