Greenspring Veterans Groups Sponsor Local Students for Virginia Girls State Program

Four years ago, Greenspring Post 123 was issued its formal charter as in independent Post in The American Legion. Today, the Post has 58 members at Greenspring. Since 2011, the Post has sponsored a local student who wishes to attend the Virginia Boys State program organized by The American Legion. The program teaches students how the Virginia government works while developing leadership skills and an appreciation for citizens’ rights. This year, with added financial support from the Women in Military Service resident group at the community, Greenspring Post 123 will be sponsoring two students who also work at Greenspring. They will attend the parallel Virginia Girls State Program organized by the American Legion Auxiliary. The program will take place June 15-21 at Longwood University. Pete Straub, Greenspring resident and Commander of Post 123, attended Boys State 56 years ago in Missouri and considers it a win-win for all parties involved. "I think it’s a beneficial program," said Straub. "Students can be a part of democracy in action and learn about working together for a common goal."
