Earlier this fall, Alexander was encouraged by his Language Arts teacher to submit an essay in the Patriot Pen contest. The central theme of the contest: "When should we honor our veterans?" Alexander's catch phrase: "we should honor our veterans 24/7". He wrote an amazing essay outlining the reasons we should honor our veterans--those that are currently serving our country and those that have bravely fought for our country in the past. He paid tribute to my Dad's uncle who survived the Normany invasion during WWII. Today, Alexander received his award and $100 check for earning first place in the contest at the middle school he attends. His essay has been forwarded to the district level and we will know the results by month's end. If he scores high in the district level, he will advance to the state competition. 
We are very proud of his essay and congratulate him on a job well done!
