Waldron Middle School, Mrs. Tammy Chronister, and the WMS Student Council held their yearly Veteran’s Day program today. As always it was a very heart-touching ceremony and we appreciate their efforts!

Daniel Fielding (L), *Bill Coben and *Rachel Poor* (R)* with the winners of the Patriots Pen Essay Contest.

The Ouachita Mountains VFW Post 1345 and Auxiliary would like to thank Mrs. Rachael Poor for her hard work with the 8^thgrade students and the Patriot’s Pen Essay competition. We had close to 120 entries this year and Mrs. Poor always makes our job a bit easier by narrowing the number down to around 10. Members of the VFW Post and Auxiliary judged the remaining essays and chose the 3 winners. This year’s 1^st place winner with a prize of $300, is Harlow Dickens, 2^nd place, winning $200, Diann Balance and 3^rd place Stephanie Parish winning $100.

Once again, we thank everyone involved in making this program so awesome every year!
