Three junior ROTC cadets who were killed in the Florida high school shooting
last week will be honored with heroism medals by the U.S. Army.
A spokesman for the U.S. Army told Fox News on Tuesday that Cadet Command
approved Junior ROTC Heroism Medals for cadets Alaina Petty, Peter Wang and
Martin Duque.
The family of Petty, 14, were presented the medal during her funeral service
Monday, at which more than 1,500 people attended to pay their respects.
Wang’s family received his medal at his service Tuesday morning.
According to students and teachers, Wang, 15, died in his junior ROTC
uniform while helping students, teachers and staff escape from the shooting
rampage.
An online petition to the White House sought to give Wang military honors at
his funeral. It had more than 43,700 signatures as of Tuesday.
“His selfless and heroic actions have led to the survival of dozens in the
area. Wang died a hero, and deserves to be treated as such, and deserves a
full honors military burial,” the petition said.
The Army spokesman said the family has requested Wang be buried in his
junior ROTC uniform.
“The JROTC Heroism medal will be on his uniform, but a second ‘keepsake’
medal will be given to his family,” Michael Maddox, told Fox News in an
email.
The family of 13-year-old Duque will receive the medal on Saturday during
his funeral services.
Maddox said awards for other possible cadets are going through a review
process.
“However, the immediate focus right now is on supporting the funerals with
dignity and honor, so deserved by these cadets and their families,” he
added.
All three students were killed by shooter Nikolas Cruz, an ex-JROTC member,
when he opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last Wednesday.
Cruz killed 17 people during the spree.
The JROTC Heroism Medal is a U.S. military decoration awarded by the
Department of the Army to JROTC cadets whose performance “involved the
acceptance of danger and extraordinary responsibilities, exemplifying
praiseworthy fortitude and courage.”

拉上两个屁事没做的非华裔死者来分享小王的荣誉算他妈个鸡巴毛啊？
这再次证明了我一开始就说的，华人骨子里的英勇和舍身取义的精神，美国配不上，我
们应该教育自己孩子万事以自己和家人安全为第一。 | S**H
