Recognition

Ways to recognize these Students and participants

1. With your VFW, have a Dinner or Luncheon.
2. Purchase Certificates, Backpacks and/or other items from the VFW Store for the students participants.
3. Contact your local newspaper, school website or social media and acknowledge the participants.

 

Letting the public and the participants know we care enough to follow through is very important.
