Here's my entry: Yes.
WHO CAN ENTER:
The Voice of Democracy Program is open to students in grades 9-12, who are enrolled in a public, private or parochial high school or home study program in the United States and its territories.
HOW TO ENTER:
Students should first draft their essay based on the 2011-2012 theme: "Is There Pride in Serving in Our Military?" Students should then record their reading of the draft to a CD. The recording should be no shorter than 3 minutes and no longer than 5 minutes (plus or minus 5 seconds).
Entries begin at the Post level. Once the student has created their essay and completed burning the audio version to a CD, they should submit their typed version, CD and the Voice of Democracy entry form to their local participating VFW Post no later than November 1, 2011.
Oops, not wordy enough (uncharacteristically for me).
Pass this on to any young 'uns in your patch.
On a related but unrelated note: #2 Son was issued his JROTC uniform today. Excuse me while I go full-on Proud Dad.
Passing this on to my students. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYep, the VFW does GOOD things!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the JROTC for the #2 Son..... that's terrific!
ReplyDeleteGreat contest! Wish my daughter was old enough to enter it, but I suspect they'll probably continue doing something like this.
ReplyDeleteWhat branch of JROTC is #2 son in? And Congrats on that, too. I was in Air Force ROTC for 2 years in college, til they finally got around to doing physicals and I found that my eyesight was too poor to join the military.
Please give my thanks & congratulations to #2!
ReplyDeleteDirk, it's Army JROTC.
