2LT Epaulets to Newly Commissioned Officers 

VIPMOAA supports the award of 2nd Lieutenant and a MOAA certificate citing Welcome into the Officers Corps, which is given to each newly commissioned 2LT at the College of William & Mary, Christopher Newport University, and Hampton University. VIPMOAA members make the presentations.

JROTC Awards

A MOAA Leadership Medal is given to each of the 11 JROTC units on the Virginia peninsula as well as a gift card. These awards are to junior year cadets.  We award a scholarship to a senior year cadet to be used for post high school education.
