Paris High School senior Anthony Pierotti was selected as a Top Ten winner of the Department of Texas Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States Voice of Democracy Scholarship program for 2016-2017.
The top ten students in the state were provided an all-expense paid trip to Austin to attend the Mid-Winter Round-Up and be a guest of honor at the annual Voice of Democracy Banquet. As part of the weekend festivities for the honorees, the Top Ten met with the Lieutenant Governor and had a special tour of the State Capitol.
They also toured the Texas State Cemetery, the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and the LBJ Library. They were special guests at the State Officers’ Reception and attended a Memorial Service before departing Austin.
Since 1947, the Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ premier scholarship program.
