Paige McLaughlin, a senior at Sullivan High School, was the first place winner in the Veterans of Foreign Wars Voice of Democracy essay contest.
McLaughlin will receive $100 for first place from VFW Post 6410 who sponsored the contest and will go on to compete at the district level.
Since 1947, the Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW’s) premier scholarship program. Each year nearly 40,000 high school students compete for more than $2 million in scholarships and incentives. Students compete by writing and recording an audio essay on an annual patriotic theme. This year’s theme is Why My Vote Matters.
