George Washington Medal of Honor #2

Blake with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa is a World War II Veteran. All veterans were also recognized today.
The Governor was not able to attend. During this moment they are reading Blakes essay to the audience.

A special escort to the awards area.


Proud parent moment.


Waiting for the ceremony to begin. A great Kodak moment without all the fuss of other people around.


Today we celebrated with Blake. He entered a contest through the Freedom Foundation at Valley Forge. His essay was the best in the nation in the youth military category for the second year in a row. This organization is all about recognizing individuals and groups who promote freedom and their mission is to keep the spirit of freedom alive in all Americans. I highly recommend your support to this great organization. The American Spirit was truly alive and thriving today. Thanks to all who came and supported us. A special shout out to Gosha for becoming an American Citizen today also. We congratulate you. God Bless America!!!!!
