The youth were granted the award by American Legion 5th Division Commander Larry J. Miller.
Miller said he was honored to present the awards to the students.: “They are given to two students each year who are graduating from eighth grade or high school," he said. "They receive a certificate and a medal. We rely on the schools to give us the names of the students who receive the awards. I am always pleased to give out awards to these top students. I also encourage students to look at the American Legion oratorical contests and some of the other competitions at Legion.org."
