"This award, in honor and memory of Nikolai Hill, is given to a senior band member that shows outstanding citizenship and care for their fellow band members as well as the Petal Band Program as a whole... Nikolai left a lasting impact on all of us here."

-Brittany Swindol, Petal High School band director, April 2021

Creating positive ripples in others' lives through the memory of Nikolai.

With assistance from Cadet Riter, Nikolai designed the official Detachment 432 patch. So today, after we awarded Cadet Anderson with the first ever Cadet Nikolai Hill Award, the Cadre then gifted us with Nikolai's patch & a custom plaque with all their signatures.
And the Commander gifted us a mug with Nikolai's patch design!

Lt. Col. Fryman has just been so gracious & patient. So grateful for everyone's kindness
