Pauline Brunt and Anne Porter, Youth Citizenship co-chairmen of The Samuel Hammond Chapter of the MSDAR, are pleased to announce the Youth Citizenship Award winners.
The DAR Youth Citizenship Award was established to foster among schoolchildren a greater appreciation of the qualities of citizenship Americans must possess if our country is to remain sovereign and independent.
The award is presented to a student who exemplifies the qualities of honor, service, courage, leadership and patriotism.

Maeson Jolley is the son of Donna and Robbie Jolley. Katy Jo Newman is the daughter of Melanie and Culley Newman. Braxton Ray is the son of Noelle and Daniel Ray. Taylor Grace Rutherford is the daughter of Amanda and Gene Dismuke and Brian Rutherford.
