It's never easy leading a unit into a conflict, that much can be plainly stated. To lead one through a downfall, that takes strong shoulders. To see one through three, and I can't think of anyone that won't begin doubting the group at that point. Jason however never has, a constant and incredibly vocal boost for morale was always pushed by Jason over the Crusades. Examining old emails on the house list, Jason very much was Tarentum's cheerleader; always trying to rally it as the House's Aedile but he didn't limited it just to the side lines. His participation in the first phase was meant to be supportive, as he managed 4 entries in two rounds despite his limited time. Even after stepping down as Aedile, Jason remained around to try to boost morale and even tried to get in what entries he could in the very last round when we made our final push. If it wasn't from his encouragement, I don't think tarentum would have done better than it had. For this reason, I believe Jason should earn the Anteian Cross and our thanks for the efforts he made in the Dark Crusades.
