Attention Students! The VFW's Patriot Pen and Voice of Democracy Essay competitions, are underway. The Patriots Pen Essay competition is for the 6th., 7th. and 8th. grade students, and the Voice of Democracy Essay, is for High School Students.  Our Post judges will select the winners in each group, will receive a monetary prize. The Post's winners will then advance to the District, State, and finally the National competition. Each year the VFW National, selects the Patriotic Topic for the competition, and the students have to write their essay, following the competition rules. This is always a wonderful way for us to pass on the patriotic spirit to our youth. Parents and Teachers, we need your help in making students aware of this opportunity and coaching the students through the process.
