On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Post 38 was invited to the TX-20012 annual awards ceremony. Commander Jared Shaw represented the Post and proudly presented two awards to outstanding cadets.
Cadet Ashlynn Winn earned the American Legion Scholastic Award for her exceptional academic achievements. This prestigious award recognizes cadets who rank in the top 25% of their class, demonstrate strong leadership, and actively participate in school activities. It includes a bronze medal with a ribbon featuring a distinctive scholastic scroll miniature.
Cadet Hunter Burgess received the American Legion General Military Excellence Award, honoring his superior military performance, leadership, and dedication to the JROTC program. Both cadets were presented with signed certificates on behalf of American Legion Post 38.
The JROTC instructors, Major Araujo and SMSGT Gamboa, were also honored for their tireless efforts in preserving the rich heritage and traditions of JROTC at Floresville High School. They received newly minted American Legion Post 38 challenge coins as a token of our deep appreciation.
Post 38 is honored to stand behind these young men and women as they develop the values of service, leadership, and patriotism.
