Will Your Department be Represented this Fall

摘要

Since 1987, the AMVETS National Service Foundation has offered this unique four-day educational experience at Freedoms Foundation in Valley Forge, PA., to give young people a better appreciation of the freedoms they enjoy. First place department winners of the 9th grade National Americanism Essay Contest receive an all-expense paid trip to the seminar. If your department does not conduct such a contest or does not have a 9th grade entry, it then becomes incumbent upon your department leadership to hand select a 10th or 11th grade student to represent your department. There are many deserving students to select from who could truly benefit from this powerful experience. High School Honor Students, Eagle Scouts/BSA and Gold Award recipients/Girl Scouts of the USA just to name a few. And please remember our Junior AMVETS that may be 10th or 1 lth graders.
