Jordan just returned home today from Boys State and I was so impressed with everything he was telling me about his week. To see such enthusiasm and excitement from a 17 year old is quite refreshing! I truly believe, based on what Jordan told me, this experience will be a defining moment in his life. Jordan told me that it gave him hope for our future and for our future government leaders based on the young men he met this past week. To hear such a profound statement, brought tears to my eyes. Jordan told me that this past week reinforced his belief in seeking a career in law and possibly seeking government office. He said it was refreshing to share a week with people that had similar beliefs and shared a common hope for our country and our future government leaders. Wow! We went into this experience very ignorant since we knew very little about Boys State. But it has been a wonderful experience for Jordan and we are grateful to the American Legion for giving him that opportunity. Jordan said he is interested in joining the Sons of the Legion, also. I suggested Jordan contact you and maybe he could talk to the Franklin American Legion about his experience and what it meant to him.
Thank you and your members for allowing our young men and women to experience Hoosier Boys and Girls State. It truly is changing lives.
Sincerely,
Cindy Bantista
