Each year, nearly 68,800 students in sixth through eighth grades enter the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen youth essay contest. The essay contest encourages young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American society, by drafting a 300- to 400-word essay, expressing their views based on a patriotic theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief.
Katie Brackett of the Castleford FFA Chapter recently placed third in the Prepared Speaking LDE. Brackett prepared, researched, and presented a seven-minute memorized speech to a panel of judges and answered three questions about her topic, which was misconceptions about cattle methane emissions and climate change.
