Good Luck at Nationals, Lydia! We are so proud of Lydia Prout, who won a trip to Washington DC through the VFW Essay Contest. Lydia's essay was #1 at a local level, at the District Level, and at the State Level, and is among 53 vying for the National Award. Lydia, your speech won our hearts, and we believe it is in good company - among the best in the country. We're thinking of you, Lydia! #DutchmenPride
