The DeKalb County VFW Post 3128 Veterans and its Auxiliary members are very proud to say that Nobody Does More For Veterans . However, some do not realize the effort and commitment we invest each year into Americaâs children within DeKalb County. Working alongside Americaâs youth and instilling a sense of patriotism has always been - and will always be - a VFW priority. We continually strive to produce scholars, dreamers and leaders who benefit the entire world.
Although we all faced challenges this past year, we didnât want to stop encouraging our local students with personal growth and fostering a greater understanding and appreciation for America, its history and values. The DeKalb County VFW was very excited and honored to provide the following scholarships to the students of Cornerstone Christian Academy.
MASSENA â Two sixth-graders from the Massena Central School District took the top two spots in the District 9 competition of a patriotic essay contest sponsored locally by VFW Post 1143 in Massena.
Madeline Kepper from Nightengale Elementary School took first place and Emma Tyo from Jefferson Elementary School took second place in the Patriots Pen essay contest.
âThatâs a big accomplishment,â VFW Post 1143 Scholarship Chair Frani Marcil said.
âWeâre certainly proud of you,â Jefferson Elementary School Principal Duane Richards said.
In her essay, Ms. Kepper said her father demonstrated patriotism by serving on active duty in the U.S. Coast Guard.
