Thank you to all of the schools that participated in our 2021 Interview a Veteran Essay Contest. In this, our 22nd year, over 4,000 students completed essays. This year’s theme was “How Did Interviewing (Veteran’s Name) Affect My View on Freedom and Citizenship?“
Below are videos submitted by each school winner at the middle and high school levels.
