The Robert G. Miller Memorial Sword is awarded to either a Navy midshipman or officer candidate who has excelled in a Navy battalion leadership position, devoted their time to public service, and is in the top 25% of his or her graduating class.

During World War II, Tech Sergeant Miller served in the seventh and third Army under General Patton seeing action in the "Battle of the Bulge."

This year, the sword was presented to Ricardo Caporale of Clayton, NC, at the awards convocation in McAlister Field House. The ceremony was sponsored by Jim Whetstone, Class of 1960, and his wife, Lila. Caporale graduated on May 9th with a BS in Biology.
