Voice of Democracy
Created in 1947, the Voice of Democracy (VOD) scholarship program is an audio-essay contest for high school and home schooled students in grades 9-12 that annually provides more than $3 million in scholarships. The program is 
directed by VFW National Headquarters and supported at the VFW Department (state) and local Post level. This years theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief is “Is There Pride in Serving in Our Military?” The entry deadline for this years program is November 1, 2011.
VFW Post 3377 strongly supports the VOD program. We offer scholarships totaling $3000.00 distributed between the Post’s 1st ($1500), 2nd ($1000), and 3rd Place ($500) winners. The 1st Place winner is then automatically entered in our District 28 competition with a chance to compete at the Department and then the VFW National level where the 1st Place winner receives a $30,000 scholarship. For additional information, the Post VOD Chairman Comrade Gerard Kern can be contacted via email or by calling
