Central Coast Chapter Awards Silver ROTC Medal

On 24 May 2012, our representative, Roger Koeninger, presented Nathanael Wrye, a member of the Cal Poly ROTC, the Silver ROTC medal.  The candidate was selected by the ROTC Administration.




Nathanael Wrye, was awarded the Silver ROTC Medal from the Sons of the American Revolution, presented by Roger Koeninger.
                As a first year Cadet in the ROTC program and Electrical Engineering Major at Cal Poly, Cadet Wrye has expressed a high degree of motivation and shown the qualities for future leadership success in the future.  Throughout his first year in the program Cadet Wrye maintained a GPA of 3.96 in the five Military Science courses he has taken. He completed the entire MSL 100 series courses, Orienteering, and Military History.  His dedication to the program and the Army places him well above his peers in the program by completing a majority of the overall course work in his first year.
                Cadet Wrye attended both the fall and spring FTX opportunities given through the program.  His dedication to duty and personal courage allowed him to excel through the numerous obstacles and missions that were completed throughout the two weekend training events.  He consistently steps forward to assist and volunteer in any portion of the program.
                As a first year student, Cadet Wrye took the challenge of competing for a spot on the nine person Ranger Challenge team that would compete with five other major schools in the area.  Due to an injury to his hand he was unable to participate with the team that eventually won the competition.  Even though he was injured, Cadet Wrye still received numerous peer votes to be a member of the team.  This only proves that he is respected by his peers due to his sense of duty.

The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) is a historical, educational, and patriotic society of men descended from ancestors who supported the cause of American Independence during the years 1774-1783.
