My two oldest sons entered VFW scholarship program this past fall. The younger had to write an essay on patriotism (Patriot's Pen) and the older boy had to write an essay and then record himself reading it (Voice of Democracy).
Today we heard that they both came in first place locally (in the county) for their competition. Next they go on to the state level.
When they submitted their essays, the gentleman from the VFW told us that they don't get many submissions from the rural areas of the county, but only from the towns.
Needless to say, Mrs. Curley and I am proud of them. Their great-grandfather who is a WWII vet and told them of the programs will be proud too.
Oremus pro invicem!
