CMP Welcomes Maj. Gen. Munera as Guest Speaker at JROTC Awards Ceremony

March 9, 2023

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Welcomes Maj. Gen. Munera as Guest Speaker at JROTC Awards Ceremony

On March 25, 2023, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) will host the JROTC Three-Position National Championships awards ceremony – recognizing the top sporter and precision air rifle JROTC teams and individuals from across the country.

The match is set to be held March 23-25 at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center, located on the grounds of Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio. The National Championship is the culminating event of a junior air rifle series that began in September with over 6,000 junior cadets who competed in the Postal Championships before moving on to Regional Service Championships in February. Leading individuals and teams from the 900 athletes who competed in the regional events were invited to move on to the two-day competition in Ohio, where winners will be crowned National Champions.

The JROTC awards ceremony, a formal occasion to celebrate the hard work of the 225 young cadets who made it to the National event, will be held at Kalahari Resorts Convention Center in nearby Sandusky. Along with dinner and awards, those in attendance will be addressed by special guest speaker, Major General Antonio Munera. 

Maj. Gen. Munera has accumulated a successful military career that has spanned over 30 years. A native of Fairfax, Va., he received a Regular Army commission in May 1991 as a Distinguished Military Graduate from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in History and a master’s degrees in Theater Operations and Strategic Studies. His military education includes the Chemical Officer Basic and Advanced Courses, the Command and General Staff College, the School for Advanced Military Studies and the U.S. Army War College.

    Seeing this announcement brings back wonderful memories. As soon as I saw MG Munera’s picture, I KNEW he had to be the son of LTC (Ret.) Tony Munera, who I had the honor and pleasure of serving under in 1978-1979 when he, then a Major, was serving as the Battalion XO of 2d Battalion, 48th Infantry (Mechanized) assigned to the 2d Brigade, 3d Armored Division at Coleman Kaserne, In Gelnhausen, FRG. At the time, I was a relatively new Second Lieutenant assigned as a Rifle Platoon Leader of Third Platoon, Bravo Company, 2/48 Inf. Then Major Munera, and his wife Barbara, MG Munera’s mother, were GREAT people and much loved and respected throughout the battalion and the brigade. MG Munera would have been around just 4-5 years old at the time so I can’t even be sure if I ever met him at any of the many family-oriented social events held by the battalion. But, with parents like Tony and Barbara, he must be a great guy.
