Battery Creek High School JROTC cadets honored
On May 14 Beaufort’s Gov. Paul Hamilton Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and Gen. Richard H. Anderson Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) honored two of Battery Creek High School’s top Marine JROTC Cadets for the 2009 – 2010 school year.
Wayne Cousar, President of the local SAR Chapter, presented Cadet 2nd. Lt. Anthony Grant with the SAR SSgt Esau Patterson, Jr. Bronze Medal in recognition of his exhibiting strong personal traits of leadership, military bearing and discipline during the past school year. The award is named in honor of a former Ridgeland High School recipient of the award who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

Jody Henson, Chairman of Military Awards for the local SCV Camp, presented Cadet GySgt Jordan Huggins with the H. L. Hunley Medal. Huggins was recognized for his demonstration of strong core values, honor, courage and in particular commitment to his unit during the school year. These were the values exhibited by the last crew of the Confederate Submarine Hunley who courageously made the commitment to honorably risk, and ultimately give their lives in defense of their country and the city of Charleston, after two crews had already suffered tremendous loss in previous training exercises.
