The JROTC awards ceremony, a formal occasion to celebrate the hard work of the 225 young cadets who made it to the national event, will be held at Kalahari Resorts Convention Center in Sandusky. Along with dinner and awards, those in attendance will be addressed by special guest speaker, Major General Antonio Munera.
