Kinne won first place statewide in the annual VFW "Patriot's Pen" essay contest, a competition sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars that attracts entries from more than 100,000 sixth-, seventh- and eighth- graders nationwide.
"These essays help to develop a love of country and a sense of patriotism in our youth. Lauren's essay expressing her gratitude for veterans' sacrifices, her pride in and love of our flag and country is a outstanding example of how well our youth can develop as they mature," said Michael T.

Voice of Democracy (VOD) is an annual nationwide scholarship program sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). It is an audio-essay contest for high school students in grades 9-12. The program annually provides more than $2.3 million in scholarships. The first-place winner, who competes with all the first-place VFW Department (state) winners, receives a $30,000 scholarship that is paid directly to the recipient's American university, college or vocational/technical school.
It is endorsed by the contest criteria of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and is designed to foster patriotism by allowing students the opportunity to voice their opinion in a three- to five-minute essay based on an annual theme. Historically, the Voice of Democracy theme (chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief annually) is purposely kept broad in scope to allow the participant flexibility in interpretation, and thus, encourage originality. The new theme is posted on the website by May of each year.
The audiotape or audio CD (with the typed essay recited word-for-word), the actual typed essay, and completed official student entry form must be delivered to a local, participating VFW Post by the student entry deadline of October 31.
More than 100,000 students nationwide participate in the essay contest each yeaer, and state winners continue competing for one of forty-six national awards. The national first place winner receives $5,000 and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., in March.
