The FMA 2000 Alumni Website has received the following awards. I am honored by the recognition. However; these awards belong to every Alumnus as they reflect the quality of the people, past and present, that consider themselves to be members of this elite group of individuals that make up the FMA Corps of Cadets and those who inspired us along the way. Stephen Swain stated this thought quite clearly in his 1975 FMA Salutatorian address, "Let it be our prayer that wherever we go and whatever we do, people will see Frederick Military Academy reflected in us". Below is what others have said in bestowing their award and a second page for some selected messages from our non-alumni visitors. Obsolete award links have been disabled.
