The award was announced and presented in front of the assembled Corps of Cadets, their families, faculty and staff during the Saturday Review Parade at Fishburne, which was part of the school’s Parents Winter Weekend schedule.

Fishburne Military School’s Senior Army Instructor, LTC Robert A, Hunt, USA(Ret), personally presented the award. Hunt later noted that “Cadet Dolfi has been a dedicated and hard-working leader of this Corps. He risen through the ranks while spending the time and energy to help other rise along with him. His career at Fishburne Military School has been nothing short of exemplary and I am proud to have presented him with this year’s MacArthur Award.”
