2024 Recipient
CDT Nicholas Melillo
My name is CDT Nicholas Melillo. I’m from Hopewell New Jersey and will be commissioning into the New Jersey National Guard as an Infantry Officer in May 2024. I joined ROTC in the fall of my sophomore year. I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from some great mentors in both my cadre and upperclassmen. After college I plan on working as a police officer. I am also a member of delta phi here at Rutgers University, the same fraternity as Ryan. I’m looking forward to life beyond college and I am excited to start my journey in the national guard as well as my civilian career.
