The ROTC Medal for Heroism, awarded to students Peter Wang, Alaina Petty and Martin Duque, recognizes JROTC cadets whose achievements “involved the acceptance of danger and extraordinary responsibilities, exemplifying praiseworthy courage and fortitude.”
All three students were among the 17 people killed by former Stoneman Douglas High School JROTC cadet Nikolas Cruz on Wednesday. According to eyewitness accounts, Wang was last seen holding a door open to allow his fellow students to escape. The Army confirmed the news, first reported by The Daily Beast, to Task & Purpose on Tuesday.
The Army presented Petty’s family with her Medal of Heroism at a Feb. 19 memorial service, according to The Daily Beast, while Duque’s family will receive his medal on Saturday. Wang’s family received his medal during his Tuesday memorial service, where a sizeable military presence is expected."

Rest in peace Peter Wang, Alaina Petty and Martin Duque and prayers for their grieving family and friends.
