The pages under this heading highlight some of the key programs in which VFW Post 4372 actively participates.

• Voice of Democracy (VOD): This program invites students from across the nation to express their views on patriotism, leadership, and the importance of freedom through a written essay and audio recording. It’s a wonderful way for young people to connect with the values our veterans fought to protect.

• Patriot's Pen (PP): Similar to VOD, the Patriot's Pen program focuses on younger students and encourages them to write essays on topics related to American ideals. It provides an opportunity to foster patriotism and gives students a platform to voice their opinions about our nation’s values.

• Teacher of the Year (TOY): This program honors educators who demonstrate outstanding dedication to fostering the development of civic responsibility, community service, and patriotic values in students. Teachers play a vital role in shaping the next generation, and the VFW is proud to recognize those who go above and beyond.
