James W. Robinson, Jr. James W. Robinson, Jr. Secondary School was named for Sgt. James W. Robinson, Jr., who received the first medal of Honor given to a Virginia resident for heroism in the Vietnam Conflict. His citation reads: “On April 11, 1966, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry was engaged in fierce combat with a Viet Cong battalion. Despite the heavy fire, Sergeant Robinson moved among the men of his fire team, instructing and inspiring them, and placing them in advantageous positions. Enemy snipers located in nearby trees were inflicting heavy casualties on forward elements of Sergeant Robinson’s unit. Upon locating the enemy sniper whose fire was taking the heaviest toll, he took a grenade launcher and eliminated the sniper. Seeing a medic hit while administering aid to a wounded sergeant in front of his position and aware that now the two wounded men were at the mercy of the enemy, he charged through a withering hail of fire and dragged his comrades to safety, where he rendered first aid and saved their lives. As the battle continued and casualties mounted, Sergeant Robinson moved about under intense fire to collect from the wounded their weapons and ammunition to redistribute them to able-bodied soldiers. Adding his own fire to that of his men, he assisted in eliminating a major enemy threat. Seeing another wounded comrade in front of his position, Sergeant Robinson again defied the enemy’s fire to effect a rescue. In so doing, he was himself wounded in the shoulder and leg. Despite his painful wounds, he dragged the soldier to shelter and saved his life by administering first aid. While patching his own wounds, he spotted an enemy machine gun which had inflicted a number of casualties on the American force. His rifle ammunition expended, he seized two grenades and, in an act of unsurpassed heroism, charged toward the entrenched enemy weapon. Hit again in the leg, this time with a tracer round which set fire to his clothes, Sergeant Robinson ripped the burning clothing from his body and staggered indomitably through the enemy fire, now concentrated solely on him to within grenade range of the enemy machine gun position. Sustaining two additional chest wounds, he marshalled his fleeting physical strength and hurled the two grenades, thus destroying the enemy gun position as he fell dead upon the battlefield. His magnificent display of leadership and bravery saved several lives and inspired his soldiers to defeat the numerically superior enemy force. Sergeant Robinson’s conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, at the cost of his life, are in keeping with the finest traditions of the United States Army and relect great credit upon the 1st Infantry Division and the United States Armed Forces.”

Portrait of A Gentle Hero – Sergeant James W. Robinson, Jr. By his father – James W. Robinson, Sr.
My son Jim was killed in Vietnam April 11, 1966. For his bravery in action he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The citation to the left describes the tragic circumstances of his death. Two public schools, an Army Reserve Training Center and an annual military award have been named in his honor. He was 25 years old when he died–tall, strong, handsome, personable–a perfect physical specimen. Six feet three; 205 pounds. Never had a cavity in his teeth. Never before had he raised his hand in anger. What kind of person was he? He was born August 30, 1940 in Hinsdale, Illinois. His early life was unremarkable. Middle-class serenity. As he approached his teens he was a little overweight; a little clumsy. A poor match for his more agile brother two years his junior. That bothered him. But he had a bullheaded sense of determination and when he was about twelve years old he launched a solitary campaign to achieve physical fitness. He subscribed to a body building course which to his family and friends was ridiculous. An unscientific, turn-of-the-century routine described in ponderous language. But from the day he received his first lesson until the day he was killed thirteen years later, he observed the rules laid down for him with a single-mindedness that was almost frightening. He ran a mile every day. He practiced deep breathing. He lifted weights. He took dancing lessons to improve his coordination. He ate health foods. If all this makes him sound like some kind of nut that isn’t a true picture. He was a bright, pleasant boy with a keen, if somewhat earthy, sense of humor. Like most of us he was a paradox. His fantasies involved violent, heroic deeds, but in his day-to-day life he was both gentle and sympathetic. He loved solitude, animals and children. A sick dog or a bird with a broken wing were personal tragedies to him. As a student he was average, but along about third grade he became a victim of the then-current wave of “progressive education.” Phonics, the alphabet; rules of grammar were ignored. He was taught to read by recognizing the shape of words. He could pronounce “grandmother, but not “the”or “cat” or “run.” It required hours, months and years of remedial effort to overcome the damage caused by that ill-fated venture into modern teaching. But he did overcome it and developed a fine appreciation of literature. Adventure stories were his favorites. His heroes were Hemingway, MacArthur, Robert Ruark and John James. His ambition was to become a writer. Some of his initial attempts were primitive, influenced to some extent no doubt by his earlier clash with “the system.” But he was beginning to develop a sense of literary organization. His copy began to take on a sense of power and rhythm. His vocabulary expanded daily under the impetus of a deliberate training program. Whether he would
have achieved a degree of skill necessary to qualify him as a writer we will never know. For Jim the terms, “high school” and “football” were synonymous. He played four years at tackle, both offense and defense. After his death, the athletic director at Morton High School, James Regan, said: “You don’t forget a boy of this type. He weighed about 205, sometimes edging toward 210, and he could adjust to adversity quickly. He’d meet a 400pounder if he had to. Jimmy was honorable mention at tackle Suburban league team of 1958. The work of the 6foot-2-inch defenseman never wavered. He was always in condition, ready for a tough game,” said Regan. “A real bug on physical fitness.” “The boy had contributed a host of tackles, even in defeat, and he played it rugged toward the center of the line, upsetting many an opposition play.” In 1958, when Jim was 18, he joined the U.S. Marines, explaining that, since the Marines were the finest fighting force in the world he wanted to be a part of it. In service he blossomed both physically and intellectually. Much of his term was spent in Okinawa, where he was exposed to and embraced some elements of Oriental philosophy. It was there also that he learned and mastered the art of karate and won the Championship of the All-Japan Karate League. He was awarded the black belt, grade 2 in 1962. While in the Marines he continued to play football and when he returned home after his enlistment expired, he was a magnificent physical specimen, as powerful, graceful and alert as a finely-tuned instrument. As the United States involvement in Vietnam accelerated, Jim grew impatient to take part. He reenlisted, this time in the Army, but instead of the Far East, the military in its wisdom shipped him to Panama. On an average of twice a month he requested a transfer and finally in 1965, he was assigned to Company C, Second Battalion, 16th Infantry regiment in Saigon, engaged, primarily, in search and destroy missions. A faithful correspondent, he wrote every week. He never complained. The fatigue, insects, dirt, uncertainty, danger–and frequent deadly boredom–were minor annoyances. On April 12, 1966, my secretary in my Washington, D.C. office announced a visitor; a Chaplain in the United States Army. His painful duty was to inform me that Jim had been killed. So that is a brief description of my son, Sergeant James W. Robinson, Jr. It is totally inadequate. Unspoken are the hours of companionship, the shared adventures, the way he held his head (the same way I do), the gestures, the heavy way of walking (just like me), the warm affection, the bright smile, the heated political arguments, the hangovers after an all-night spree. He was my dear friend. I miss him. I loved him very much.

Rams Baseball Legends
After being cut from the baseball program his freshman year, Dave came back to earn a scholarship to George Mason University where he led the nation in stolen bases his senior year. Dave then became the first Robinson product to be drafted when the Texas Rangers selected him in the 1978 draft.
Danny Griel ‘74 Danny helped lead the Rams to their first ever winning season. He then signed a scholarship with Virginia Tech where he was a four-year letterman. Dan is currently the head coach at Lake Braddock Secondary School. Under his leadership, the Bruins have advanced to the state championship game three times.
Todd Kirtley, Mark Krynitsky, Winston Streeter ‘78
George Priftis, Greg Schuler ‘79 In their junior and senior seasons George and Greg were the heart and soul of the teams that went 43-3 with back to back District Championships, 1 Region Championship, and an appearance in the 1978 State championship game. George then played at the University of Virginia as a four year starter at third base and then went on the play in the Seattle Mariners organization. Greg was a four-year starter at the University of North Carolina and went on to play in the Baltimore Orioles organization.
Tom Reed ‘81 Tom has the distinction of being the winning pitcher, as a sophomore, in the 1980 State Championship game. He holds the Robinson record (17) for most wins in school history and was a starting pitcher for four years at the University of North Carolina.
Chris Warren ‘85 This Ram legend was a two-year starter in center field for the 1983 and 1984 teams. In baseball, Chris gave up his dream of playing professionally to pursue his other love football. Chris was to go on and become a Pro Bowl running back for the Seattle Seahawks.
Steve was a three year starter on varsity and at the conclusion of his high school career owned almost every hitting record, both season and career, for the Rams. He signed a six-figure contract out of high school after being drafted in the fourth round by the Minnesota Twins. He played in the major leagues for the Twins in 1994 and 1995, and finished his career with the Cleveland Indians. Steve is currently working and coaching high school baseball in Tennessee.
Shawn Camp ‘94 An All-Metropolitan selection at two different positions (pitcher and catcher) in two different years (1993 and 1994), Shawn owns many records at Robinson. He played for three years at George Mason University before being drafted by the San Diego Padres. His first professional season earned Shawn a spot on the league allstar team. He began the 2001 season with the Padres AAA farm team, before being traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates. He will open the 2002 season in AAA, and is looking forward to being called up to the big leagues later in the season. Shawn pitched in the big leagues during the 2004/2005 seasons for the Kansas City Royals, and is expected to begin the 2006 season with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Javier Lopez ‘95 The greatest player in the history of Robinson
ALUMNI
This trio, all of which were three or four year lettermen, are the only athletes in the history of the Northern Region to be members of regional champions in three different sports (football, basketball, and baseball). The basketball and baseball teams advanced to the state championship game. In baseball, the 24-0 Rams lost a 2-1 decision. Krynitsky followed his high school career with a college career at Virginia Tech and a professional career with the Milwaukee Brewers. Kirtley played college baseball and football (starting quarterback his final two years) at the University of Virginia.
Steve Dunn ‘88
In 1995, the Northern Region Player of the Year and an All-State and All-Met selection, Javier holds the Robinson record for strikeouts as well as several hitting records. Javier signed a scholarship with the University of Virginia and played there through his junior year. In the 1998 major league draft the Arizona Diamondbacks selected him in the 4th round. Javier was named the “2003 Rookie of the Year” in the Winter Leagues of Puerto Rico. His success in the winter league lead to him being selected by the boston Red Sox in the 2003 Rule 5 Draft. During the 2003 spring training season the Red Sox traded Javier to the Colorado Rockies, where he earned a spot on the major league roster. Javier spent the entire 2003 season playing in the big leagues with the Rockies as a left-handed specialist in the bullpen. He finished the season with the lowest ERA at Coors Field of any pitcher on the Rockies staff. During the 2003 season he finished with 75 appearances, 58 innings pitched, a 4-1 record, 3.70 era, and 40 strikeouts to only 12 walks. Javier became the first Ram to play an entire season in the big leagues.
