MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Veterans of Foreign Wars announced this month that a city high school student was among the top national finishers in the organization’s Voice of Democracy scholarship program. Matthew Blair, a junior at Central High School, was named the third place national winner and the recipient of the $10,000 VFW Scholarship award.
Blair, who was sponsored by the Queen City Memorial VFW Post, said he was honored by the recognition for his entry in the oratorical competition.
“I am so grateful to all the teachers and administrators who helped me along this journey,” Blair said. “This speech really was inspired by my grandfather, his story, and the love for America that he instilled in me.”
