On Monday, January 8, 2024 officers and members of the The VFW Calabash Post 7288 and it’s Auxiliary were at the West Brunswick High School to present awards and scholarship checks to four 2023 Voice of Democracy winners. All four winners are members of the schools JROTC program.

The Calabash VFW is proud of our local winners and looks forward to a continued participation from the JROTC.

The VFW is dedicated to promoting patriotism and investing in our future generation. If you are a democracy-loving high school student interested in a college scholarship, consider entering the 2024 competition.
