Army ROTC Cadets Receive Meritorious Service Medals, Purple Hearts After Old Dominion Shooting

Army ROTC cadets attending Old Dominion University in Virginia received eight meritorious service medals and two Purple Hearts on Sunday in recognition of their efforts to stop a shooter at the university two weeks earlier. The private ceremony saw the unnamed cadets awarded by Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael Weimer, U.S. Army Cadet Command.

Three members of the U.S. Army ROTC program at Old Dominion were wounded, including military science professor Lt. Col. Brandon Shah, 42, who died as a result of his injuries.

The soldiers who received the medals have not been publicly named as far as I have found.
