It was an absolute honor to receive the Mary Desha Medal for Youth yesterday from the DAR! Thank you so much to my family, friends, neighbors, politicians, etc. who attended the ceremony at City Hall last night. Here are a few photos from the ceremony taken by Lucas Wright!

Our chapter was honored to recognize Benny Jett who truly reflect the spirit of Mary Desha — patriotism, service, leadership, and love of country. He represented the very best of the next generation, and it was inspiring to hear about his accomplishments and the ways they are already making a difference in our community.

The future is bright — and it was shining at the Benny Jett celebration!
