Today Tyler got his award for his Patriotism essay from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He received on Honorable Mention for his essay. They said that over 700 essays where entered and his was one of the top 5% in Arco, Idaho Falls and Rexburg area. The Veterans of Foreign Wars post had a luncheon in Rexburg for all the winners. It was a neat experience to see him get this award after all his hard work. Good job Tyler!
It also was a good reminder to remember all those defending our country and freedom this time of year. Pray for those men and women who are protecting the values of this great country.
Congratulations Tyler! I am glad you guys got to come see us for a few minutes too!
