GEORGETOWN — Sussex Technical High School Coast Guard JROTC Instructor Guy Rush presented Cadet Emily Dukes with the Meritorious Achievement Award on Jan. 29.
This award is to honor a “cadet who distinguishes themselves by outstanding meritorious achievement or a meritorious act.”
Earlier in the month, Cadet Dukes witnessed a horrific car accident and rendered aid to multiple motorists. This is the first time in the Sussex Technical High School’s Coast Guard JROTC program where this award has been presented.
This act also warranted a meritorious promotion to Cadet Senior Chief for Dukes.
“Emily embodies the Coast Guard’s core values of Honor, Respect, Devotion to Duty. She went into action without hesitation to provide aid to the injured and I could not be prouder. She has been a standout cadet, and these actions are a testament to her character,” said Mr. Rush.
