Re:       2007 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for your participation in our 2007 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship program.  A total of 600 essays were received from around the globe, and every essay was wonderfully written and deserving of recognition.

As with last year, the 2007 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship program is made possible by the generosity of the W. Daniel Tate Family and Sara's Hope Charitable Foundation.  Their unwavering support and commitment to serve our military has and continues to be awe inspiring, not to mention far reaching.

It is without a doubt from testimonials received by our 2006 recipients, and from the number of participants this year that the American Patriot Freedom Scholarship is a much need program for our military dependent children.

With this in mind, we will always work hard at seeking out the available resources to help perpetuate this program.  This is our commitment to you.

In closing, I would like to say on behalf of the Tate Family and their Foundation, Homefront America's Board of Directors, Advisory Board Members, brilliant panel of nearly twenty-five judges, and other selfless volunteers who worked tirelessly to help coordinate and administer the 2007 American Patriot Freedom Scholarship Program; please accept my most sincere congratulations to each and every one of you for a job well done.

I truly appreciated receiving the Homefront America Scholarship!  It played an irreplaceable role in my dream of becoming a high school teacher.  The ability to pursue higher education is a blessing.  Learning to walk alongside teenagers, to enable them to bring joy in our world, uplifts my spirit.  Thank you for the Opportunity

Sincerely,
