Saturday evening is the deadline for this years Patriots Pen and Voice of Democracy.
This years prompt is “What has a veteran taught you about America?”
Essays can be turned in at the post or submitted online. For the voice of democracy, the submission must also include the student reading their essay on a recording, and a head shot of the student.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
As a reminder, our post offers $300 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 for third place, with first place in both contests moving up to the district to be entered in the national contest.
