Over 50 Wendover area children submitted artwork for the High Desert Advocate’s annual Veteran’s Day Poster contest.
Started two years ago to instill patriotism and gratitude toward veterans the number of submissions has grown by leaps and bounds every year.
“We really couldn’t do this without help from our sponsors,” said Advocate Publisher Corinne Copelan. “You often hear that children today especially children of immigrants aren’t given enough patriotic lessons at school about how truly great this country is. As a naturalized citizen myself, I can tell you first hand this is a wonderful country not just for the opportunity it gives everyone but more importantly for its tolerance and freedom. Americans who never lived abroad really have no idea how truly exceptional this country is because they have nothing to compare it to. Well I am a proud American by choice and thankful to the American Armed Forces.”
