Commander Don Howell, left and Quartermaster Gerald Ward on the right. Kelly will be
attending the National Youth Leadership Forum in Washington D.C. on Defense,
Intelligence and Democracy. This program is offered to a very select group of high
school students demonstrating academic excellence, leadership skills and an interest
in the field of national security and foreign affairs.
Based on the recent terrorist attacks on America, VFW Post 5713, Celina firmly
believes that it is more important than ever that students have a clear understanding of
foreign relations. The week-long forum consists of briefings by outstanding
government officials on U.S. diplomacy and tours of strategic defense sites.
