So proud of my amazing niece! 👏🏻
Tears of heartfelt joy filled the Capitol Rotunda as students read their winning essays from our Letters to the Lieutenant Governor America 250 contest. You could see parents, teachers, veterans, and guests wiping away tears as students shared why they love America and are proud to be Americans. Their words about freedom, faith, family, opportunity, and gratitude were a powerful reminder that patriotism is alive and well in the next generation.
If these young Missourians are America’s future, our next 250 years are in very good hands. 🇺🇸
