American Veteran Essay Project: This essay project is open to all teens from the ages of 13 – 17<br /><br />You may select a veteran who has served in WWII or any preceding period all the way through the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The veteran might be a member of your family or a person you have known growing up, as long as you admire them for inspiring you or they exhibited the ability to be a role model. If you do not have someone to write a story about the AWON, &#040;American WWII Orphans Network&#041; organization is available to match you with a hero to write about. Make sure you explore how that person has shown the “power of one” and has made a difference in the lives of others. The essay collection will be published in a featured book in 2010 through AuthorHouse. Top essay winner receives a camp scholarship at a National Aviation Museum: www.museumofaviation.org and the 2nd place winner will receive a $50.00 cash award. <br /><br />Deadline for finished essays is: October 15, 2009<br /><br />For more information, visit www.americanvetpowerof1.com
