Patriot’s Pen

The Patriot’s Pen program is a VFW essay competition that allows middle school students (grades 6-8) to express their views on patriotism. VFW Post 2148 proudly supports this program, which helps young Americans explore and communicate their thoughts on the values that define our country.
