Today's quote was written by the incomparable Dolly Parton, lyrics from her song I Will Always Love You:

I hope life treats you kind
and I hope that you have all
that you ever dreamed of
and I wish you joy
and happiness
but above all of this,
I wish you love.

Parton, who passed away yesterday at the age of 80, was not only a singer, songwriter and movie star, she was the founder of Imagination Library; thanks to her, Imagination Library and their partner organizations, more than 304 million books have been given to children up to age five since 1995. Some of these titles are, or have previously been, included on our recommended reads list as part of Patriotism Through Literacy, our Youth Activities initiative.

"So I'll go, but I know, I'll think of you each step of the way and I will always love you..."

At VFW Auxiliary National Headquarters, we've received a number of questions about our Scholarships and Programs, one of which keeps coming up: "Why can't I find information about Illustrating America under Scholarships in MALTA or on the VFW Auxiliary website?"

The answer is... it's not a scholarship! Illustrating America is a contest for students in grades K-8. The top three National winners in each grade category (K-2, 3-5, 6-8) are each awarded a gift card, not a scholarship, and this contest was created in 2019-2020 by the then-National Youth Activities Ambassador, therefore, information about it can be found under Youth Activities.

We admit, this can be confusing - especially because both of our art scholarships have "contest" in the name, and because the VFW's Patriot's Pen is an "annual youth essay contest," according to their description, but we report all three of those under Scholarships, along with Continuing Education and the VFW Voice of Democracy.

But it may help to remember that Illustrating America is the only one of these contests that allows kindergarten through fifth graders to enter, and, unlike their teen and tween siblings, these kiddos aren't looking all the way ahead to college yet.

We hope this helps!
