VFW post 2182 had our winner advance to State in the Patriot's Pen, where they came in 4th.  We did not have a VOD entry.  The State of NM winner for Patriot's Pen came in 27th in the Nation. NM's VOD winner came in 31st in the Nation.  That is a very good showing for NM.  I hope next year VFW post 2182 can get more Patriot's Pen entries, and some VOD entries.  It would also be great to get some Teacher nominations.  Please keep these ideas in mind for the next 9 months.
